Jane Langford, M.D. Lovely, dark-haired Jane Langford had but one dream - to become a doctor. Orphaned, penniless, she fought her way through her internship in a big, tough city hospital. A brilliant career lay before her.
But tall, handsome Lance Hart - ambitious and socially prominent young lawyer - wanted Jane to renounce her dream, to belong to him alone.
This is the story of a beautiful, young woman forced to choose between a life of luxury and the stern rewards of her dedicated profession - of her daring quest for the truth which led her into a bitter battle against powerful and evil forces.
(Elizabeth) Adeline McElfresh was born May 28, 1918. In addition to writing fiction, she also worked as a journalist for various newspapers. Her published fiction includes romance and children's fiction.
This is the SECOND book in the series, after "Doctor Jane, Intern." This book follows Jane as she doctors her way through small-town Halesville. Jane is quietly humourous, confident, and not silly -- except when it comes to Lance Hart, who makes her weak in the knees in the most schoolgirl-like way. But then there's Bill Latham, the minister next door, who is a far more likeable and dependable guy ...
This is a calm and enjoyable book without a lot of fanfare, and that works out just fine for me.
