with a ranch in ruin and a brilliant doctor who is confined to an

John Lincoln Parks yearns for a wife to help make the ranch all it
should be after his uncle, a judge, ravaged it before he was
murdered. John has his eye on his sister Jenny’s elegant matron of
honor, Valerie MacDougal, a young widow. But Valerie, a law school
graduate, returns to Boston to live since her little son was
born. John and Valerie write, he’s kissed her a few times,
but while in Boston Valerie and one of her father’s
law partners try to get three patients wrongfully judged as
insane out of the Boston asylum.
Will John marry
Valerie or Edwina Jorgenson, the feisty rancher-neighbor who has
been in love with John since they were in grade school? Edwina’s
father is in a wheelchair and she’s taking care of their ranch.
John tries to help and protect this neighbor who has a Peeping Tom
whose bootprints are like the person’s who dumped a body in John’s
barn. But John and Edwina fuss at one another constantly. Will John
even marry, or be hanged for the murder?
Here’s a comment from Deirdre Lockhart at
Brilliant Cut Editing: “By the way, I want Polly to live near me.
Not just for the food, which made my mouth water, but she made my
spirit sing too. I feel my absolute faith a little stronger after
living with her and Abe this week.”
