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 1870?s is an unforgiving place ? especially for a single mother. To support herself and her young son, Jennie finds work caring for an older woman. 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 leads her to her ultimate goal ? but the rod forward is uncertain.
