Cabot continues the Secrets of Sweetwater Crossing series, following After the Shadows (2023). Aspiring doctor and midwife Louisa Vaughn decides to return to Sweetwater Crossing to be with her friend whose doctor husband has died. Neither of them intends to stay. They come across Josh Porter, who has been knocked off his horse and rendered unconscious with a badly broken leg. Louisa sets Josh's leg and finds out that he's been collecting recipes to compete with his cousin for his grandfather's New York food empire and that he's engaged. When she learns that she has inherited the doctor's office, Louisa decides to remain in Sweetwater Crossing. The town needs a doctor, but will they ever accept a woman in that role? Louisa is a determined heroine who faces many obstacles. Josh finds that God has changed the plan that he had for himself. Cabot's tale will appeal to Tracie Petersen fans and readers who enjoy tales of forgiveness and inspirational western historical romances.
