description: Kim Sargent’s father violently opposed her engagement to Dr. Bill Holland; he knew his daughter did not love the middle-aged, influential physician. Kim had left San Francisco to take care of her crippled father and her motherless teenage sister, but in the small town of Valleyview she had no prospect of a career, or of marriage. She went to work in Dr. Holland’s offices, and when her employer revealed his deep love for the beautiful young nurse she consented to marry him.Kim tried to believe that she loved Bill Holland in return, but the only love she felt was built out of respect and admiration. Then Reid Coleman, a young doctor whom Holland had put through medical school, came to Valleyview as Holland's assistant. Neither Reid nor Kim wanted what happened then—the deep love which grew between them—because they did not dare hurt the man to whom they owed so very much. Jane Converse’s new novel is a tragic and human one.
