In 1923, Mary Breckinridge (who had been a nurse in WWI) learned
about the nonexistent medical facilities in Appalachian Kentucky,
and founded the Frontier Nursing Service -- a group of women who
traveled by horseback to isolated mountain residents to provide
medical care. These three compelling, poignant stories, each with a
different narrator - a boy whose father almost loses his leg; a
nurse in training; a mute young girl who realizes she might have a
career in medicine - show Mary's effect on the people and world
around her, brought to vivid life by master storyteller Rosemary
Wells.
