SynopsisA biography which reads like an adventure novel.BOOKWATCHIt is 1907 and Doc Susie came to Fraser Colorado with a bad case of tuberculosis and a broken heart. But soon she forgot about her own troubles and lived a life so colorful that Hollywood wanted to make a movie of it. For the first time, here is an account of the real Doc Susie--the amazing, inspiring story of a woman who defied her times and her fears to help those who needed her., The bestselling true story of a woman doctor at the turn of the century and her triumph over prejudice, poverty, and even her own illness. When she arrived in Colorado in 1907, Dr. Susan Anderson had a broken heart and a bad case of tuberculosis. But she stayed to heal the sick, tend to the dying, fight the exploitative railway management, and live a colorful, rewarding life.
The story tells a compelling tale of a young lady's attempt to be a respected doctor in a small community high in the Rockies during the early days of the narrow gauge railroad and the construction of the Moffet Tunnel, a six mile tunnel through the Continental Divide.
