Resumen del Editor

A young midwife travels west to the New Mexico Territory to care for women in need and faces dangers more harrowing than the ones she’s fleeing in this epic tale of survival, redemption, and love from Sara Donati, the international bestselling author of the Wilderness series.

1857. In a bid to outrun her past, Carrie Ballentyne accepts a nursing position with a doctor in the New Mexico Territory. She knows the journey from New York to Santa Fe will not be easy, but she relishes the adventure. However, nothing could have prepared her for the wilderness she encounters. Its vastness and power are awe-inspiring, stunning in both beauty and brutality. To endure, she must learn to rely on her fellow travelers—and one enigmatic man in particular. As the small, tight-knit group tackles challenge after challenge, she feels her heart opening to this rugged land—and the people willing to risk so much for one another.

The trip west is only the beginning of Carrie’s challenges, though. In Santa Fe, she compassionately and respectfully helps women bring new life into the world, making her beloved among new mothers. Soon, however, she realizes that her employer and his wife are keeping secrets from her, and she must ferret out the truth to protect their young daughter. But to save the little girl she’s come to cherish, Carrie will have to confront the demons in her own past—a feat that will take all of her bravery and the help of the man she’s come to love and depend on above all others.

With its vivid descriptions of the breathtaking western landscape and its irresistible characters, The Sweet Blue Distance is the unforgettable story of one woman’s courage to heal herself, her family, and the women entrusted to her care.

My favorite author

I loved the whole book. It was beautifully written as always. I especially loved getting reacquainted with the Hidden Wolf clan.

Storyline of Carrie traveling to Santa Fe and meeting Eli. The harseness of 1800’s.

Loved the story as it continues to touch on characters from Into the Wilderness. A favorite series.

History and hearing about the Bonner family and relatives

I would like the story to continue I love all of her books can’t get enough of her writing.

Amazing book...might be her best yet!

I really like this author, but I enjoyed this book beyond all others she has written.

Good story

I love her Wilderness series. This book felt ... different. It felt a bit less exciting, with a little less character development and left me feeling like there were some loose ends.

Emotional expressions and history that was from a better perspective

wonderfully detailed love story in early America with rich descriptions of scenery and people and medical/social history.
Continued story from previous works was delightful.

Another great one

Sara Donati knows how to create the best characters and intertwine them with the best history. Thank you for all your lessons.

Historical history at its best!

Sara Donati is one of my all time favorite authors.
This one seem a bit slow to start but quickly took flame. Her characters are woven together so completely. I can without reservation recommend every single book in her repertoire.

Love this Family

I loved this story as I love the family the heroine comes from and how they have been woven into the story. The trader is very good;however, there is a stiltedness that sometimes interferes with the emotion of the scene. I do appreciate how well she enunciates but, perhaps a little less will lend heightened emotion to scene.

Like I was there.

Always masterful with setting and culture. I went along the journey, feeling and learning. Hers are great stories. Perhaps, they are even better lessons - learned/remembered for a lifetime. meaningful, wonderful book. Excellent performance.
