Can they help each other heal?Joshua Gibbs survived the Civil War, building on his wartime experiences to become a small town doctor. And if he wakes from nightmares more often than he would like, only his dog Major is there to know it.Then two newcomers arrive in Cowbird Creek: Clara Brook, a plain-speaking and yet enigmatic farmer's daughter, and Freida Blum, an elderly Jewish widow from New York. Freida knows just what Joshua needs: a bride. But it shouldn't be Clara Brook!Joshua tries everything he can think of to discourage Freida's efforts, including a wager: if he can find Freida a husband, she'll stop trying to find him a wife. Will either matchmaker succeed? And is it Clara, despite her own scars, who can heal the doctor's troubled heart?
