Light of my heart

About This Book

As 1892 draws to a close, Dr. Letitia Morgan boards a train in Philadelphia headed for Hartville, Colorado. The young town's booming silver mine has attracted so many people that Hartville is in need of a new doctor to treat women and children. Letty jumps at the chance to start a new life where she'll be appreciated as a medical professional -- despite the fact that she's a woman. But as she gets to know more about this bustling town, Letty realizes that perhaps she's bitten off more than she can chew. Armed with determination and her trunks of medical supplies, she buckles down to minister to the wayward children of the town drunk, girls caught in Hartville's thriving brothels, and a newspaperman broken by the loss of his young wife. But not everyone warms to the lovely new physician, and Letty finds herself the target of vicious attacks. When she is thrust into a confrontation over the fate of three orphans, her life will never be quite the same. - Back cover.
