Doctor-in-training Louisa Vaughn has no intention of remaining in Sweetwater Crossing. She's just there for a few days to help a friend. But she can't abandon the injured man she finds at the side of the road. Until his broken leg heals, she'll serve as the town's doctor and midwife. She may not be fully qualified yet, but surely she's better than nothing.
Josh Porter's plans to win his grandfather's challenge and fulfill his father's
final wish to gain full control of the family business hit a roadblock when he
breaks his leg. But his enforced stay in Sweetwater Crossing gives him new
ideas about the expansion of the company into new territory--ideas Louisa could
help turn into reality.
If only the town were more accepting of Louisa's talents! Someone is determined
to convince her to abandon her dream of healing others. Can Josh help her
uncover the person behind the threats before it's too late? And is there any
future for them together when neither of them plans to stay?
My Review:
I have enjoyed several Amanda Cabot books. This one included. In Against the
Wind, the author returns to Sweetwater Crossing where book one left off. In
book two, Louisa returns with no intention of staying until she finds a man by
the road who needs help. Josh Porter finds himself in this small town, a thousand
miles from home, unable to take care of himself. I love the tenacity of Louisa
and her caring and determined heart. She wants so much to be accepted as a
doctor in the small town, but fights against the opinions of others and some
tragic events. Josh wants to please his grandfather, but he's not sure it's the
best path for his life. With a strong faith thread, the two discover life is
filled with surprises, struggles, and difficult decisions. I enjoyed the story
and the characters. I received a free copy with no expectations, and opinions
are my own.
