Synopsis

The year is 1910. Katherine Davis, MD, is an intelligent, self-assured, and attractive woman whose confidence perfectly reflects the confidence of a new century overflowing with scientific, medical, and technological breakthroughs. Without a moment's hesitation, young Dr. Davis accepts the professional invitation of a lifetime when she travels to Chicago's Hull-House to work with the celebrated social reformer, Jane Addams. Katherine is an excellent doctor eager to make a difference in the world and the people around her, and Chicago's crowded tenements with their burgeoning immigrant population offer just that opportunity.

Everything Katherine believes about right and wrong, about good and evil she learned from her parents and the secure childhood they gave her. But times have changed, and Katherine can no longer rely on the values of the past. She has outgrown that past and the home of her childhood seems outdated and old-fashioned compared to the progressive society around her. She's an independent woman, who must make her own way and follow her own ideals.

When Katherine meets the dazzling Douglas Gallagher, a man as confident and as fearless as she, a successful man who has left his own past behind, an uncompromising—even ruthless—man, she is asked to choose between her past and her future. And the choice is so much more complicated than she expected! Because for Katherine, deciding where—and who—home really is will change her forever. And for good.

Home is in the heart of a family This quaint romance tells the story of one young woman's life. I found the story to be historically appropriate.

I enjoyed this book about a young woman, Katherine, who studied and became a doctor in the early 1900's. The main part of the book followed Katherine through her year of service at Hull House in Chicago. Since this was historical fiction I felt compelled to look up the actual history of the Hull Hou......more
