More About This Book

Overview

Deep in the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, Jesse Forbes delivers babies and tends to the sick with a feisty bravery. But her courage may doom rebel Wade Simmer, who's been branded a troublemaker by the powerful Harper family, and when the whole town blames Wade for a horrible crime, Jesse must prove his innocence — and her love.

One of the most popular writers of historical romance today, multimillion-copy bestselling author Dorothy Garlock has written such smash successes as Glorious Dawn, Ribbon in the Sky and Homeplace. Now she weaves a turn-of-the-century tale set in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee about a lovely young woman and the wealthy family who tries to control her destiny. Original.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Nurse Jesse Forbes first meets Wade Simmer when she rides out in 1902 to combat scarlet fever among rural families outside Harpersville, Tenn. Wade is considered somewhat dangerous: he is a loner and folks suspect he might be ``The Looker,'' a man who has been breaking into homes and blindfolding and fondling women. Jesse finds that Wade is a charming, if mercurial man who seems dedicated to obtaining an education for Jody, a young black boy he has taken under his wing. Jesse returns to town to discover that her father, Dr. Hollis Forbes, has hired Louella Lindstrom to be a housekeeper and help care for Jesse's half-siblings, Susan and Todd. Louella, a ``greedy, manipulating'' woman, conceals her poisonous personality from Hollis, on whom she has designs. Jesse is outraged that a mere housekeeper has such aspirations--an intriguing contrast to the book's benevolence toward Jody's hopes. When Garlock's ( A Gentle Giving ) story stays with simple, small-town characters and events, like Jesse's nursing and Wade's hesitant courtship, it is fairly successful (the contrived ``Looker'' subplot aside). But her attempts to make Louella a major criminal fall flat. (July)

    Very Appropriately Titled!

    This is the first Dorothy Garlock book I've read. One falls in love with the main characters Jesse & Wade immediately. This book is aptly named as their tenderness toward each other is refreshing. There are elements of nursing, which I enjoyed as well as historical fiction (set in early 1900's) and a mystery which is not revealed until the end --the mystery of who the 'Looker' could possibly be. Dorothy Garlock as you suspecting many of the characters as you read along. A lovely story with the 'old fashioned' girl meets boy along with many unsuspected twists & turns.
