Her Healing Ways

"A female physician with an adopted black daughter? The townsfolk of Idaho Bend will never accept Dr. Mercy Gabriel--even when faced with a deadly cholera epidemic. But all Mercy needs is one man willing to listen ... and to trust. Four years of war command turned Lon Mackey into a footloose gambler who can't abide attachments. Yet he can't help getting riled by the threats Mercy keeps receiving. Her trailblazing courage could reignite his faith and humanity. And his loyalty could make her dream--for the first time--of a family of her own."--P. [4] of cover.
