It was very interesting to read the facts about medical history interwoven into the fictional romance and mystery of this story.  Time and again Ryan must learn to respect Mary's great surgical skills and the fact that she cannot give up her gift although it is illegal for her to practice medicine without a license and as a woman getting a license is impossible.  Therefore, the couple appear to be at an impasse.  Mary's father has left behind a set of journals kept throughout his lifetime.  Several people are willing to kill to obtain those journals, but who are they?  And what do the journals contain?  Ryan must protect Mary while trying to decide if he can marry a woman so outside of society's norms.  Mary loves a man who she knows she cannot live with if he cannot accept her life as a surgeon.
