Domina | Barbara Wood
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Set in London, New York, and San Francisco from the late nineteenth century through the first decades of the twentieth, Domina is the inspiring saga of one woman's personal and professional triumph against the prejudices of her time. Beautiful and courageous, Samantha Hargrave dares to dream that she will become one of the first female doctors — and surgeons — in America. Born in the slums of London and possessing a special gift for healing, Samantha struggles to enter the all-male medical profession. When her ambition encounters hostile rejection in England, she sails to America, where she meets an eccentric doctor who takes her on as an apprentice. But at the high-profile Astor Ball in New York, Samantha is introduced to the second of the three men who will change her life forever — and love just might interfere with her ambition. Acclaimed novelist Barbara Wood reveals her remarkable talent by capturing Samantha's indomitable spirit, making Domina a literary triumph.

This is another belated one for #riotgrams, but I had to post about this author who shares my name. A friend who works in our local used book store gave me this--because it's literally exactly my name. Apparently this author is quite prolific, though I'd never heard of her! Has anyone read any of her books? This one doesn't really entice me, I'll have to admit...
