Reading The Medicine Woman of Galveston by Amanda Skenandore. I thought I would finish today, but I’ve given up. It’s about a female doctor in 1900 forced to join a traveling medicine show in order to pay off her debts and support her young son. She ends up in Galveston for the hurricane in 1900.

Have a good week y’all!
