Missie's adopted daughter Belinda Tyler follows her dream of being a doctor--in a time period that doesn't look kindly on women with careers, especially in the medical field. But strong-minded Belinda is determined to become a doctor, and she manages to prove her abilities while assisting the local doctor and caring for an old woman who recently had a stroke. Belinda nurses her back to health and helps her regain the use of her arm. She also meets Drew, their deceased neighbor's nephew, who has come to get his uncle's farm in shape to sell, after which he will return to New York to join his father's law practice. He has no desire to stay in this small, unsophisticated town, but after meeting Belinda he has second thoughts. Belinda also feels something for Drew, but she is conflicted. Although the norm of the time is for a woman to get married and have children, Belinda wants more: she has a calling and a great mind for medicine.—Anonymous
