Order of Cheney Duvall, M.D. Books

Dr. Cheney Duvall serves as the central character in two interconnected Christian historical fiction series penned by the collaborative duo Lynn Morris and Gilbert Morris. In the primary Cheney Duvall, M.D. series, readers follow Cheney as a pioneering female physician in post-Civil War America. As a graduate of the nation's first institution to award medical degrees to women, she faces the ongoing challenge of establishing her credibility in a male-dominated profession. The companion series focuses on her romantic relationship and subsequent marriage to Shiloh Irons.

The writing team of Lynn and Gilbert Morris launched the Cheney Duvall, M.D. series in 1994 with The Stars for a Light, bringing the original storyline to a close in 2000 with the eighth installment, Driven with the Wind. Their continuation of Cheney's story resumed in 2001 with the Cheney & Shiloh: The Inheritance trilogy, opening with Where Two Seas Met and concluding in 2005 with There is a Season. The complete collection follows both publication and chronological order.

Series Overview: The inaugural novel, The Stars for a Light, introduces newly graduated Dr. Cheney Duvall in the 1860s as she struggles to secure employment in her chosen field. When traditional opportunities prove elusive, she accepts an unconventional position from Asa Mercer: serving as both chaperone and medical attendant to two hundred prospective brides sailing from New York to Washington Territory. Accompanied by her unexpected partner, nurse Shiloh Iorns, Cheney embarks on a challenging voyage that tests her skills far beyond anything her formal medical training prepared her to handle.
