For local doctor Seth Hendon, Eden's Grove couldn't be further from paradise. Dispirited after losing his beloved sister, Sarrie, to a long illness, Seth plans to leave town--and his late sister's best friend, that pesky and preternaturally perky Abby Merganser--as soon as a new doctor can be found. But Abby Merganser is having none of it! She has loved the dour Seth all her life and now she just has to convince him that he loves her, too. But Seth is loath to abandon his precious bachelorhood, especially to the pushy Abby and the rest of her flighty family. Besides, Abby is much too young for him. Isn't she? When the irresistible force that is Abby Merganser meets the immovable Dr. Hendon, the good doctor is in for the ride of his life. Isn't he? Or will tragedy strike again, just when the last of Seth's walls come tumbling down in the face of Abby's immutable love. With her trademark humor and talent for creating quirky, lovable characters, Stephanie Mittman continues her string of hits with A Heart Full of Miracles. --Alison Trinkle
