The logging industry in eastern Texas is booming, and Deborah
Vandermark plans to assist her family’s business now that she’s
completed college. Unexpectedly, her best friend, Lizzie Decker,
accompanies her back home--fleeing a wedding and groom she has no
interest in. Deborah, the determined matchmaker, puts her sights on
uniting her brother and dear friend in a true love match.
Deborah soon meets Dr. Christopher Clayton, a much-needed addition
to the town. As their lives intersect, Deborah realizes that she
has a much greater interest in medicine and science than the
bookkeeping she was trained in. But when typhoid begins to spread
and Lizzie’s jilted fiance returns, Deborah wonders if true love
can overcome such obstacles...for those dearest to her, and for
herself.
