Gilbert Morris

Lynn Morris

Popular inspirational novelists Lynn Morris and Gilbert Morris pen absorbing plots rich with adventure and historical detail. In this exciting tale, they portray one woman's search for independence and self-expression amid the rigid social expectations of 1865 New York City. Twenty-four-year-old Cheney Duvall believes she will be taken seriously once she finishes medical school. Months later, however, she still is without a position; no one wants to consult a woman doctor. When she hears of a shipload of hopeful brides-to-be bound for Seattle via the Panama Canal, her luck changes. The ship's authorities are eager to have a woman physician on board. Once Cheney meets the 100 women-and her disturbing male nurse assistant-she fears she has gotten in way over her head. Father/daughter writing team Lynn Morris and Gilbert Morris combine their talents to provide first-class entertainment with nourishment for the soul. Narrator Kate Forbes' stirring interpretation highlights Cheney's successes and setbacks as she discovers the path to complete self-fulfillment.

The Stars for a Light

This thrilling and heart-warming adventure from popular inspirational novelists Lynn Morris and Gilbert Morris is full of rich historical details and colorful characters. As in The Stars for a Light, Dr. Cheney Duvall struggles against traditional values while seeking to establish her own identity. Much to her parents' dismay, Cheney and her male nurse, Shiloh Irons, decide to take their medical skills to an Ozark Mountain settlement in Arkansas. An old friend of Cheney's is pregnant, and the small town has no doctor. But the mountain people-who are uneducated, superstitious, and resistant to science-hesitate to accept an outsider. With the local medicine woman in the way and a family feud to contend with, Cheney may be biting off more than she can chew. The father/daughter writing team of Lynn Morris and Gilbert Morris combine their skills to produce a lively, sumptuous tale. Narrator Kate Forbes portrays a thoughtful Cheney, whose passion and benevolence are genuinely inspiring.

This thrilling adventure takes listeners into the most compelling frontier: the human heart. By 1866, Dr. Cheney Duvall has had her fill of places where people distrust her skills simply because she is a woman. So she and her assistant, Shiloh Irons, return to Cheney's home in New York City, where Cheney can set up practice among "respectable" folks. But an outbreak of cholera has Cheney questioning her decision-and looking to God to find out how she can best use her talents. In A City Not Forsaken, Lynn and Gilbert Morris once again deliver a moving story set in an authentic historical backdrop. Kate Forbes beautifully voices Cheney and the many colorful characters she encounters.
