Description
It's the year 1890. Hannah Maxfield is a teenage daughter of an Appalachian Mountain Healing Woman who wishes to follow in her mother's footsteps of offering her isolated and impoverished community medical care through herbs and untraditional remedies. Edward Nelson is an arrogant new doctor, fresh out of the Philadelphia Medical School, who abides by his Aunt Margaret Thompson's request to come to the Eastern Kentucky settlement and apprentice under her husband, Dr. Henry Thompson. Mrs. Thompson, a former society lady of Philadelphia, herself, secretly hopes Dr. Nelson takes over the practice completely so her husband can retire and rescue her from a state of loneliness. An Appalchian Story pitches the old against the new, unconventional medicine against proven science and the innocent beauty of a country girl against the refined and educated charms of an aristocratic doctor.
