My Name Is Mary Sutter

Summary
Mary Sutter is a brilliant young midwife who dreams of becoming a surgeon. Eager to run away from recent heartbreak, Mary travels to Washington, D.C., to help tend the legions of Civil War wounded. Under the guidance of two surgeons, who both fall unwittingly in love with her, and resisting her mother's pleas to return home to help with the difficult birth of her twin sister's baby, Mary pursues her medical career against all odds.

Review
What began as a promising work became very disappointing about half-way through due to a very vulgar and frankly unnecessary scene involving a minor character. I did not finish reading it.
