A love story that was filled with intense feelings and emotions and strong characters. Isadora was pregnant and unwed, trying to find a place to raise her child. Sydney was the doctor in town, even though he took wonderful care of his patients he closed himself off to any relationships. What happens when Sydney attempts to help Isadora?

A Doctor to Brighten her Darkest Hour
This is a story of a young bicoloured woman who had left her home for a better future for herself and her unborn child. These books by Rita Whethers are all well worth reading. This is my review and mine alone. Norma Gorrill

A very good mail order bride western!
Strong intelligent women are fun to read about. Men who are strong but intelligent and very caring help make a good story. Together these two made reading such a pleasure. Altogether this was a novel that was fun to read, thank you, Jack.

Not Letting the Past Ruin Your Life
This is a wonderful love story of Isadora and Sydney. Isadora showed up on Sydney's doorstep near exhaustion and dehydrated from her long journey to become a mail order bride to a man who left town before she arrived. Sydney who was the town doctor gave her a p!ace to stay and a job not knowing that she was pregnant and single. When her secret is revealed, things in both their pasts come out and they have to let them go in order to have a future together. I recommend this book as a clean romance. I received an ARC and this is my voluntary and honest review.
