"An often riveting fictional testament of a doctor's life at the turn of the 20th century." -Kirkus ReviewsThe Unlocked Path illuminates the courage of pioneering women in medicine who opened doors for future generations.In 1897 Philadelphia, after witnessing her aunt's suicide, Eliza Edwards vows to find ways to help and heal. From the halls of America's first medical college for women to the devastating Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, Eliza's journey spans an era of unprecedented change. With the support of a circle of women and driven by a determination to conquer curriculum demands, battle sexism, and overcome doubts, Eliza charts a new life course, navigating a world determined to keep her in her place. "Eliza sees the best and worst of humanity, but never falters from her mission to limit suffering and save lives. It's a story of the ties of family, and friends and colleagues who become family. It's about love and loss, and the eternal struggle to live one's best life." -Tracey Enerson Wood, author of International Bestseller The Engineer's Wife
