A Stirring Story of Love and Faith and America's Great Promise When her mother suffers a stroke, medical student Deirdre O'Leary makes the difficult choice to put her career on hold to care for her. Dr. Matthew Clayborne is renowned for his amazing results with patients, but when Deirdre approaches him about helping her mother, she finds him challenging and surly. Deirdre has had enough of complicated men in her life. After her fianc� left her, she vowed never to give a man that kind of power again. Widower Dr. Matthew Clayborne is devoted to two things: his work with wounded soldiers and his four-year-old daughter, Phoebe. He won't abandon either of these priorities to care for one older woman. However, when Phoebe suffers a health scare, they're offered respite at the Irish Meadows farm, where his daughter's weakened lungs can recover--but only if he cares for Mrs. O'Leary. Matthew intends to hate Irish Meadows, yet he immediately feels at home, and soon both Mrs. O'Leary and Phoebe are showing improvement. But since he has no intention of leaving his life up north forever, and Deirdre has sworn off marriage in favor of her career, how will they deal with the undeniable attraction between them?

Final installment does not disappoint. Again, extremely detailed and several characters with different points of view.
Matthew Clayborne carries heavy burdens from his past, failed marriage. Now a widower raising a fragile young girl, he is desperate to provide for her, while not letting anyone in to break his heart again. He splits his time between his daughter, and helping rehabilitate wounded soldiers with new physical therapy techniques.
Deirdre O'Leary, a young nurse, aspiring to one day become a pediatrician, has been sent by her father to convince the doctor to leave Canada and travel to Irish Meadows in New York, in order to help her mother who recently suffered a stroke. She is bold and determined to persuade the stubborn doctor, or learn the techniques herself.
There is another story that takes place between Jo, a stable hand, and Connor O'Leary set amongst the wonderful O'Leary horses. It is a great story as well. It's like reading two books in one.
The relationship between the O'Leary parents and really the entire family is so endearing and enjoyable. It's a family you want to visit or be a part of. There is a lot of kindness and love there. There are also dangerous moments that send the heart rapidly beating, such as when young nephew get a little too adventurous. And there is faith and prayer as well. The weather is crisp and cool, until finally, it snows, so I enjoyed reading this book in Autumn (-smile).
The cover of this book was another gorgeous picture that grabbed me instantly. The back shows Irish Meadows covered in snow tucked behind the leafless trees of winter.
