Determined to overcome the prejudices against women in medicine-and eager to run away from her recent heartbreak- Mary leaves home and travels to Washington, D.C. to help tend the legions of Civil War wounded. Under the guidance of William Stipp and James Blevens-two surgeons who fall unwittingly in love with Mary's courage, will, and stubbornness in the face of suffering-and resisting her mother's pleas to return home to help with the birth of her twin sister's baby, Mary pursues her medical career in the desperately overwhelmed hospitals of the capital. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Like Charles Frazier's \u003ci\u003eCold Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e and Robert Hicks's \u003ci\u003eThe Widow of the South, My Name Is Mary Sutter\u003c\/i\u003e powerfully evokes the atmosphere of the period. Rich with historical detail (including marvelous depictions of Lincoln, Dorothea Dix, General McClellan, and John Hay among others), and full of the tragedies and challenges of wartime, \u003ci\u003eMy Name Is Mary Sutter\u003c\/i\u003e is an exceptional novel. And in Mary herself, Robin Oliveira has created a truly unforgettable heroine whose unwavering determination and vulnerability will resonate with readers everywhere.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119235481840,"sku":"9781101190142","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101190142_p0.jpg?v=1763686042","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101190142","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
