When two devoted sisters love the same man, there is bound to be unhappiness; especially in a case like this, where young Dr. Fyncham couldn't make up his mind between Willow, the competent nurse, and Rose, the sweet, shy home girl. Probably it was just as well for all concerned that a more forceful character took a hand in the game.

This was an extremely well written novel. It's about 4 sisters and how they find their matches. There were quite a number of secondary characters like mother in law,OMs ,OWs, jealous neighbors, kids. I really liked the pace at which this story progresses and the dialogues were witty and real. Looking forward to reading other books by this author.
