About this title

From the Publisher:

From a quiet turn-of-the-century village in upstate New York to war-torn London, from the bedsides of the rural poor to the life-and-death urgency of a great New York City hospital, this is a powerful epic of three generations of doctors in one magnificent family. The Farrells-dedicated, brilliant.. and driven to the edge of destruction by a love no human force could suppress.

"Wonderful... a convincing, sweeping novel... a real page-turner." -- The Philadephia Enquirer.

"Bigger than evergreen." -- John Barkham Reviews.

From the Back Cover:

A tragedy on a cold Adirondack day robbed country doctor Enoch Farrell of his three oldest children. Then all his hopes rested with his son, Martin, who dreamed of becoming a doctor too. Intelligent, gifted Martin could have a brilliant future. All that stood in his way was his family's poverty -- until he met wealthy, beautiful Mary Fern Meig and her sister, Jessie, and everything changed forever. Moving from a teeming New York hospital to the elite operating theaters of London, Martin Farrell is about to learn the price of success -- a secret bargain with the Meigs that could resonate into the next generation...and test the strength of a man and a woman's passion across the coming years...
