They call her Dark Maggie for her thick black hair, but the name also has a more sinister connotation. As the lone survivor of an attack on her village, she was thought to be cursed-and unfit for marriage. Maggie is also gifted with quick wits and skilled in medicine, trained as a midwife. Venturing to the colonies as an indentured servant, she hopes to escape the superstitions of the old country-and find a home of her own. But what she discovers is a New World fraught with new dangers.

Midwife of the Blue Ridge
3.5 swooning Scottish heather filled stars.
Sweeping historical romance that takes readers from the bloody aftermath of Culloden to Pontiac 's war in the 18th century. Main character, Maggie Duncan reminds me of the strong female protagonists written by Diana Gabaldon and Genevieve Graham. The romance that she shares with Tom was reminiscent of Michaela and Sully on the television series "Dr . Quinn, Medicine Woman." The writing is absolutely spectacular and I felt swept back to the sights and sounds of that era.
But there were things I didn't like. First, why is it absolutely necessary for all the men in the book to love the main female? Secondly, Maggie starts out as a stubborn character that stands toe to toe with the man, but once she catches sight of Tom in a loincloth, she's practically foaming at the mouth over the fella. Thirdly, I felt the ending wrapped up to neatly given all the drama that exploded on the page in the last 15 minutes.
BUT even with my quibbles, I would still suggest this book to others.
