Already well-versed in the natural healing properties of herbs
and oils, Jennie Pickett longs to become a doctor. But the Oregon
frontier of the 1870s doesn't approve of such innovations as women
attending medical school. To leave grief and guilt behind, as well
as support herself and her challenging young son, Jennie cares for
an elderly woman using skills she's developed on her own. When her
patient dies, Jennie discovers that her heart has become entangled
with the woman's widowed husband, a man many years her senior.
Their unlikely romance may lead her to her ultimate goal--but the
road will be winding and the way forward will not always be clear.
Will Jennie find shelter in life's storms? Will she discover where
healing truly lives?
Through her award-winning, layered storytelling, New York
Times bestselling author Jane Kirkpatrick invites readers to
leave behind their preconceived notions about love and life as
they, along with Jennie, discover that dreams may be deferred--but
they never really die. Based on a true story.
"Once again, Jane Kirkpatrick creates a bold and inspiring woman
out of the dust of history. Jennie's triumph, in the skilled hands
of one of the West's most beloved writers, leaves its mark on your
heart."--Sandra Dallas, New York Times
