informative inspiring slow-paced

4.0

Susan La Flesche led an amazing and inspirational life as a doctor, counselor, and minister to her people. The author does an impressive job of detailing how a young woman from the Omaha tribe gained the trust of those around her to finance her education and to provide care and comfort to her community at great cost to her own personal health.
