Synopsis
Capturing the spirit and tide of events in two decades of challenge and change, here is a novel about three dedicated and indomitable women who helped each other to realize a burning ambition…in a world of medical drama and all-too-human desire… They first met in the opening year of medical school amid the idealism and ferment of the 1960s. Sondra, whose wealth could not fill the void of doubt within her. Ruth, determined to prove herself to her critical physician father. Mickey, who had to heal herself before she could heal others. Together they overcame all the hurdles that kept women from becoming doctors. But that was only the beginning…as each had to meet the demands of a profession that took so much—and of loves that asked even more…

Book Description
Moving through the exotic settings of California, Hawaii, and Africa, Barbara Wood weaves a rich and compelling story of three women's lives and the challenges they face in their careers and in their relationships.
In the late 1960s, three bright, ambitious women struggling to make a place in a man's world meed in medical school. Each has a past she wants to forget, and each has a dream she needs to fulfill. Mickey Long — Disfigured from birth, Mickey turns to plastic surgery to heal herself and others afflicted with her special pain. Sondra Mallone — Abandoned by her natural parents, Sondra becomes a missionary doctor to forgotten souls crying out for love. Ruth Shapiro — After discovering the miracle of motherhood, Ruth opens a pioneering fertility clinic that offers new hope to those who once had none. In the years that lie ahead — years of triumph and tragedy, joy and sorrow, love and loneliness — each woman will find, in their unique bond of friendship, the courage and strength to succeed.
