Here’s the set-up:
The year is 1910. Katherine Davis, M.D. is an intelligent, self-assured, and attractive woman whose confidence perfectly reflects the confidence of a new century overflowing with scientific, medical, and technological breakthroughs. Without a moment’s hesitation, young Dr. Davis accepts the professional invitation of a lifetime when she travels to Chicago’s Hull-House to work with the celebrated social reformer, Jane Addams. Katherine is an excellent doctor eager to make a difference in the world and the people around her, and Chicago’s crowded tenements with their burgeoning immigrant population offer just that opportunity. Everything Katherine believes about right and wrong, about good and evil she learned from her parents and the secure childhood they gave her. But times have changed, and Katherine can no longer rely on the values of the past. She has outgrown that past and the home of her childhood seems outdated and old-fashioned compared to the progressive society around her. She’s an independent woman, who must make her own way and follow her own ideals. When Katherine meets the dazzling Douglas Gallagher, a man as confident and as fearless as she, a successful man who has left his own past behind, an uncompromising-even ruthless-man, she is asked to choose between her past and her future. And the choice is so much more complicated than she expected! Because for Katherine, deciding where-and who-home really is will change her forever. And for good.
Five Star Amazon Reviews:
“I have just finished this book, which is the fourth one I have read by this author. It is a beautiful story, wonderfully told. The main character is a strong-willed, ambitious young woman named Dr. Katherine Davis. Her independent spirit is reinforced by another strong woman, Jane Addams of Hull House, Chicago. Miss Addams plays a significant, but peripheral, role in the life of Dr. Davis. In watching the life of Dr. Davis unfold, the reader gets an added bonus and insight into one of the women who helped to shape the history of our country.
The author has an ability to breathe life into all of the book’s characters, to tie the story into the wider world events occurring at the time, and, most of all, to draw the reader into a rich and tender story about where home really is.”
“An absolutely beautiful story of true love and devotion. I could not put this book down and had trouble realizing it was fiction, as the well defined characters were so realistic. One great beauty of the book was that it contained no profanity, nor did it contain the usual filthy pornographic sex scenes usually found in what is considered “romance” books. The grammar was excellent and everything in the book pointed to the fact that the writer was unusually well educated. Absolutely loved it.”
