4.0
Historical fiction set in 1910 Chicago, the first half of this book was really interesting. Katherine Davis, M.D., accepts an invitation to work with social reformer Jane Addams at Chicago's Hull-House, a social settlement where diverse immigrant communities gather to learn and to acquire the necessary skills to succeed in their new country. The second half of the book, where Katherine moves back home to Laramie, Wyoming, was just too predictable and the storyline was repetitious.

Girl power and family
This book sums up a typical woman's coming of age, wanting independence but then realizing just how important family is. This book kept my interest the entire time, involving Katherine adventures, relationships, and life lessons she learns. I highly recommend this book to any young lady.

I read Jane Addams book about Hull House last year and had no idea this book was going to expand fictionally on that. It was an enjoyable read if not rather predictable in story line.
