title: Olivia's Touch
author: Stoks, Peggy
description: Olivia Plummer desires nothing more than to honor God by using the healing touch he had given her -- a gift that has been honed and perfected under the watchful eye of her beloved grandmother.
  
  Eastern-trained doctor Ethan Gray, disillusioned by the pampered rich of Boston, risks his medical career to set up practice in rural Colorado. There he can help people who are truly in need. Immediately upon his arrival, he clashes with the town's “healer,” Miss Olivia Plummer. He knows all about her type -- those who endanger lives with folk remedies and old wives' tales -- and flatly forbids her to continue.
  
  But when his hand is injured, Ethan is forced to accept Olivia's help. Watching her work, he finds himself captivated by her bravery, her beauty, and her passion for helping the sick. And Olivia is drawn to Ethan's disarming tenderness. Still, he stubbornly refuses to support her efforts to obtain a state medical license. Must Olivia choose between the promise of love and fulfilling God's call for her life?
