After the Flowers Fade

by Amy Rognlie

Carrie Winthrop is a nurse-a good one. Ashamed of her past, she has worked hard to earn the confidence of the townspeople and the right to hold her head up high. But when Dr. Zach Tanner comes to set up a medical practice in her small mountain town of Bailey, Colorado, the sparks fly. Convinced that Zach has come to run her out of town, Carrie is ready to fight for her way of life. But she is taken off guard by the young physicians gentle means and the manner in which he reflects the love of Jesus Christ. Working together in relative harmony, it seems nothing can ruin their growing friendship, until Zach stumbles upon a long buried secret from Carrie's past. Will love and faith be enough to see them through, or will Zach's sudden quest to avenge Carrie's shame destroy their only hope?
