A Letter to Carolina by Christine Sterling

★★The third book in a brand new series from the creators of The First Families of Flat River and The Flat River Matchmaker ★★

Carolina Andrews has spent her entire life eagerly expecting a prince who would capture her heart like the stories her mother read to her. But life wasn’t a fairy tale and without a single suitor, it seemed fate had different plans. She turned her attention to medicine, and she knew where her ambitions lay. Was it possible for a woman in the 1880s to successfully pursue her medical aspirations and also find love? Her mother staunchly dismissed the notion, but Carolina believed she could! Then she received a letter with an offer for a wife and nurse in Flat River, Nebraska, her complete dream in one fell swoop. What she didn’t expect was a small town that might challenge all traditional expectations.

Rancher and doctor-in-training, Nathaniel Pickett loves Flat River, Nebraska, and he can’t imagine living anywhere else. The only thing more important was his family and his passion for healing. As he witnesses his older brothers finding their life partners, he wonders if God has someone waiting for him as well. Growing impatient waiting on his sister-in-law to find him a letter wife, he’s determined to take matters into his own hands. When he finds a stranger at his family’s dinner table, he wonders if she might be the answer to his heart’s desire. What he doesn’t expect is that she might also be the answer to his prayers regarding his newly established medical practice in town.

When Carolina realizes that not everyone in town is receiving medical care, can she step in to bridge the gap? Will Nate and Carolina be able to join forces to change the perceptions of a sleepy little Western town, that is steeped in tradition and set in their ways?
