excellent tale

Leaving Detroit for the summer to spend time in a remote rustic section of Wisconsin, Abby Cahill looks forward to a simpler slower life. However, the temporary Director of Blackberry Hill Memorial Hospital learns that her rented apartment burned down in a fire and the only vacancy is at a farmhouse owned by wildlife biologist Ethan Matthews, who is involved in a project to return wolves into their natural habitat. In return for allowing her to stay, he asks for her help around the farm and with his son while he heals form an injury. As Abby and Ethan become acquainted they begin to fall in love; his son and their puppies have already hooked her heart. However, when summer ends she returns to the Motor City to teach nursing though she wonders if this was just a summer romance or much more. Abby and Ethan are intelligent lead characters who prove that the whole can be greater than the sum of the parts. The story line is fascinating on several fronts besides the obvious contemporary romance between the protagonists. The look at running a hospital and the efforts to bring back wolves will hook readers as both subplots are fully developed making for interesting reading as much as understanding complex issues. On top of that is a well written romantic theme as the audience wonders whether the nurse will return to Motown or stay in Badger Country. Harriet Klausner
