say this one is,stars. I still love this series, but this one seemed to lay bare an agenda, Granted, it's one of my favourite agendaswomen's health and women's health education, Still and all, I think the point was made on at leastoccasions that I can recall, Never mind that though. I'm still pushing these books hard, The history and research are plainly evident and deftly handled, Wonderful books.
SPOILER ALERT TRIGGER WARNING
There are three children in jeopardy at various points in the story.
The jeopardy is resolved quickly, One child a nameless patient unconnected to any of the characters does die off stage,
There is also a death by suicide,

I
am so sad that this is the last book of a trilogy, Campbell is a wonderful writer, and I highly recommend all three books in this series, The conclusion of the Dr, Benedict trilogy. Good read. Therd in the Benedict family trilogy, The main character Margot is now married to Frank and continues her work as a woman's advocate, In this book we also catch a glimpse of the KKK in Washington and their attempts to influence and push for segregation in respectable neighborhoods that are already integrated.
The nurse Sarah Church is threatened and looks to the Benedicts for help, What follows is an inventive and thankfully successful solution, The title of the book hints at a Benedict grandson, Preston's illegitimate child, Margot's work at the orphanages allows her to stumble upon the missing child, The final outcome of who he will live with and his biological mother's sacrifice and evolution into a mature woman is painful to watch but her decision carries hope for the future of this child and members of the Benedict family.
I guess I need to read the previous two books, Too predictable. The glaring attempt to tackle every social ill known to women, and then make a statement about it will distractingly bring the reader out of the time period.
Horribly mismatched. Wouldn't recommend. This was final in the trilogy and I liked it the best, There is do,e courage in the family which was enjoyable to read,
Enjoyed this series
All three of the books in this series kept me interested from cover to cover.
I easily related to the characters and the era, Really needed the review of history and geography, and hang on every word from the author,
Great for a fan who would be interested in an American version of Downton Abbey.
Good! The third in the series, Preston is at it again, attempting to create drama for his family, Margot and Frank visit his parents while at home in Seattle the Klu Klux Klan is stirring up even more trouble.
I enjoyed the conclusion to the Benedict story, though I would have liked to see more of Allison,
