More Description Cheney faces two enemies--superstition and greed . . .Cheney Duvall has proven herself as a true doctor to those 200 brides with whom she traveled to the West. But arrival in Seattle with a string of medical successes during the voyage does not open any doors for her in this frontier town--she's "just a woman."

How will she overcome centuries of hate and mistrust?
