Description
Laura E. Richards, author of Captain January, sends a young doctor named Geoffrey Strong to a quiet town to start his practice. An old doctor shows him the houses where he might lodge, and they light on one no one will take him into. Chapters move from garden fancies to letter-writing, festivity, and broken bones, in a small-town round.
At the heart of the tale stands Vesta, a young woman with a grief she has carried for years. Geoffrey's care for her, first as a doctor and then as more, gives the book its warmth. Richards writes in a light, kindly style, with humor in the side scenes. It is a gentle love story about healing, patience, and a town that learns to trust its new doctor.
