Julia Lee, R.N., was a down-to-earth New Englander to her fingertips, proud to be the daughter of a scrub farmer and the most cussedly independent man in the whole state of Maine.

he lonely Maine seacoast town of Hawkesbury was very different from the big Boston hospital where Mavis Eaton had been serving as a nurse.
