Publisher Description
Jayne Dennagee has spent her life running from the "doctor death" legacy of her father. His Kervorkian-copycat methods of euthanasia ruined her childhood, covering it in shame. She won't let him steal her future, too. After changing her name to Becka, she assumes a new life and new job caring for the ailing mother of a handsome young businessman, Isaac Hughes. Becka struggles to sort out her feelings for her new boss just as her patient passes away under unusual circumstances. Suddenly, her past catches up with her and the unnerving details of her heritage make Becka look like a murder suspect. Worse, all sense of home and all hope for love vanish. Even if she could clear her name, a phone call from prison wraps a suffocating shroud around her heart. Her father is out—and he needs her help. Can Becka open her new life to the man who has prematurely taken so many? Or will her father's legacy make it impossible to open her heart at all?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this stark, uplifting journey through the world of caregiving, Ruchti (When the Morning Glory Blooms) invites readers to a deeper examination of self and personal relationships. Becca Morrow, aka "Jayne Dennagee," is a young woman whose dreams of becoming a nurse are overshadowed by a traumatic past. Traveling halfway across the country under a new identity to escape the infamy of her family history, she settles in to a position as a companion to an elderly Alzheimer's patient, mother to successful young businessman Isaac Hughes to whom she is attracted. When her past catches up with them, however, Becca and Isaac must turn to each other for understanding and strength in the face of overwhelming grief. The often painful, rewarding role of a caregiver is examined and exquisitely detailed, balancing a beautifully written, engaging romance with a message of poise and grace in the face of adversity.
