Born into a family of physicians, Dr. Roberta Cole has a stern standard to live up to. As a doctor she must deal with not only the life-and-death demands of the healing art but agonizing moral issues where conscience is her only guide.

But when Roberta seeks refuge in rural New England from the pressure-cooker world of big-city medical politics and from the break-up of her marriage to a fellow doctor, she finds even greater challlenges. And soon she is caught up in an affair with a man who has never studied medicine--but knows how to touch her heart.

As her professional practice and private life come together, Roberta Cole faces her hardest test as a doctor and as a woman: whether to keep the medical secret of a girl who has desperately turned to her for help or to betray that trust to keep the love of the man who has filled her life with joy....
