Inhaltsangabe

This is a story of a young woman, Lynn Rowland, from the Bluegrass area of Kentucky who travels to the mountainous region of the eastern part of the state in the year 1930 to serve in the Frontier Nursing Service. The FNS has been established by Mary Breckinridge to bring trained midwifery assistance to the young mothers of the area as well as other medical assistance and preventative measures to improve the overall health of the people. Lynn is posted to one of the nursing outposts that have been established away from the central headquarters at Wendover where she and her companion nurse are often on their own in dealing with injuries, disease, and difficult births. They must ride horseback along streams and ridgetops to call on the families that require assistance. Into her world of service and caring comes David Banastre, a personable young man from Cincinnati who wants to familiarize himself with the area in hopes of writing a novel about the region and the people. Lynn, who has only just left a disheartening love affair in the Bluegrass, finds herself attracted to the newcomer and her attentions divided between her nursing duties and David’s activities. Both she and David immerse themselves in the lives of the local people as their love grows and his novel progresses. How will it all play out and how will they both realize the goals they have set for themselves?
