Above all Dreams - Paperback

by Naomi Rawlings (Author)

Ever since she was a girl, Kate Amos wanted to be a doctor, a dream that made her leave Alaska and travel clear to Boston for medical school. The problem is, there aren't too many female doctors in 1886, and there are even fewer people who will let a female doctor treat them.

Fortunately for Kate, the only other doctor in the growing town of Juneau Alaska is drunk more than he's sober, and he doesn't know the first thing about medicine. So even though the townsfolk might not want a woman doctor to treat them, they don't have much choice

Until Dr. Nathan Reid arrives in town.

Nathan has been tasked by the Marine Hospital Service to start a hospital in the gold rush town of Juneau, and he's excited to get started. His research on the area showed him the town was desperately in need of a competent doctor. But Nathan is only in town for a few minutes before discovering that Juneau already has a competent doctor. She just happens to be a woman.

A rather beautiful woman-who's worried he's going to take away her patients.

But when trying to save a man's life leaves them in a compromising situation, Nathan finds himself standing at the front of a church while Kate walks down the aisle toward him.

From a USA Today bestselling author comes a frontier family saga filled with a female doctor, a marriage of convenience, and a love that heals wounded hearts.
