The Country Doctor's Wife was first published in 1940 by the author, Ora Lewis Bradley. It is her story and her homage to her husband, Dr. Richard S. Bradley, and the story of her life in Northwest Georgia from the War between the States and the 1930s. It is the love story of a Southern Belle and her Physician Husband. But Mrs. Bradley was no Scarlett - she was so much stronger than Scarlett and funnier by a long shot. You'll laugh out loud and maybe occasionally wince, for Mrs. Bradley holds little back. The modern reader might be taken aback by some of the descriptions, but they will also be educated tremendously about the mechanisms of life that are no longer with us. Take a walk through history with Ora Anna Lewis Bradley. I think you'll be happy you did.
