Description
The year is 1885, and what Clara Thomas desires most is a life beyond the ordinary. As one of Canada’s first female physicians, she yearns to start her own medical practice.
Fleeing a conventional life, Clara marries a handsome stranger in haste, shortly discovering he has a crippling addiction. Turning from him, she finds comfort in another doctor with a complicated past of his own.
In an age where a woman’s worth, rights, and choices are determined by her husband’s whim, will Clara be forced to bow to convention, or will she throw caution to the wind and follow her heart?

Clara is one of the first female physicians in Canada.
You follow her story and the start of her career. I could not put this down. I absolutely loved the writing style and story. The characters were all well written and I found myself rooting for Clara through the story.
I had the chance to beta read this story from the author. I'm absolutely so grateful to support a local indie author get her start!
Christy is a fantastic writer and I can't wait for more books from her!
Thank you so much for the opportunity to read your book!

This historical fiction follows a female dr and her trials and tribulations that's she faces not only personal and professionally. It was so good. It was so absorbing. I loved this.
I just reviewed The Roads We Take by Christy K. Lee. #TheRoadsWeTake #NetGalley

I liked the cover design, and from the description, this sounded like something that I might enjoy.
This was a very good historical novel, and it was heartwarming without anything being overly sentimental or sugar-coated. From the start, I liked the protagonist and was interested in her. There were also some other characters that I took an interest in, and I became very emotionally involved, hoping for the most desirable outcome for these characters.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a free copy to review.
