Synopsis
Martin Farrell, born with the twentieth century, was the son of a backwoods doctor. He had seen his father work himself to an exhausted standstill and die penniless but beloved by all whom he had served so devotedly. The same spirit of dedication burned in him, the same fate might well have been his, if luck and exceptional abilities had not led him into the new and adventurous field of brain surgery. From then on it was a hard uphill fight all the way to international fame; his path strangely crisscrossed by the destinies of two remarkable women: the beautiful and talented Mary Fern, whose haunting presence he could never exile form his mind; and her hunchback sister Jessie, whose restless intelligence and fierce courage more than redeemed the deficiencies of her body. The world of international medicine has never been evoked more vividly, nor has a more poignant love story been acted out against this background.

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...
