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.
