Publisher's Synopsis
Dr. Paul Peppler wanted nothing more than to work in the small town of Elam with his partner, Surgeon Jude Dibble. His young wife, Jenny, became a nurse and found it was not the life for her. Dr. Jude's wife, Cora, loved nothing more than nursing in their new office. Not only did Jenny struggle with leaving nursing, but was thrown a curve when a past fiance, thought dead, returned, putting her in danger. The Marshfields of Elam stood behind her when another tragedy struck. This young woman went from living a pampered life to growing up quickly. Cora Dibble, a country girl, was like the sister Jenny never had. There were struggles in the lives of Elam folks, but one thing for sure, they stuck together."
