Say hello to Maggie McLain, an unlikely Southern debutante
in 1960's Memphis. Gawky, restless, smart and opinionated,
young Maggie isn't cut out to fill the patent leather pumps
of a Southern Belle. When she ditches Cotton Carnival ball
to save a drowning pup, Maggie realizes her destiny. Is the land of mint juleps and Elvis ready for a woman
veterinarian? Maybe not, but Dr. Maggie McLain sets out to
prove otherwise. Over the years, Maggie earns the devotion and respect of
crusty farmers, snobby horse breeders and doubtful pet
owners throughout western Tennessee. She's an inspiration
to up-and-coming women vets, a loving wife to her proud
husband, a patient mother to her demanding kids, and above
all, a champion to sick and injured animals. When loss and grief knock Maggie off her pedestal, she falls
hard. It may take a miracle for her to understand that
sometimes even the best doctor must struggle to heal her own
heart.
