Jordan Burke is a highly trained and respected E.R. doctor. However, one night in the E.R. changes her life in ways she never would have nor could have anticipated. It is the night she treats a patient for a drug overdose. However this patient is not just some nameless person to whom Jordan has no connections. This particular patient is her husband Garry.

Jordan is based with the decision of treating him, or acknowledging their relationship and getting another doctor in. She treats him, but the treatment has an effect not only on Garry, but on Jordan as well. Good Medicine by Bobby Hutchinson follows Jordan after that fateful night in the E.R.

After that night Jordan decides that a change is needed in her life. What could be more different from the E.R. than signing on to be a doctor in a remote First Nations Village for a year. The move to Ahousaht will be a big change for Jordan, and will force many changes upon her.

Silas Keefer is also looking for his place in the world. His mother was First Nation, but his father was Anglo. They lived in the Anglo world until his mother got sick, and was taken back to Ahousaht for treatment. Silas was forced to stay behind with his father. This upbringing has had an impact on Silas' view of the world. He's now living in Ahousaht as a healer, but like Jordan is still working through issues that deal with his childhood.

Silas and Jordan are two lost souls who can benefit from a relationship. However they both have issues that need to work through so that their relationship may develop into what it was predestined to become. Ms. Hutchinson has penned her book in such a way that each can finally accept their childhood situations without really undermining how those childhoods melded them into the adults they are today.

I hope that you enjoy reading Good Medicine as I did. I'm hopeful that now Ms. Hutchinson will allow us a visit back to Ahousaht to follow up with these caring characters.
