Description
In 1876, Dr. Viveca Lancaster leaves California to build a medical practice in Grayson Grove, Michigan, an all-Black community where her education and determination make her a rare pioneer. But the town’s strong-willed mayor, Nate Grayson, expects a male physician and resists the arrival of a woman who challenges his assumptions at every turn. As Viveca works to earn the community’s trust and protect her right to practice, she and Nate are drawn into a spirited clash of wills that deepens into something neither anticipated. Set against the Reconstruction era, this richly researched historical romance explores Black achievement, women’s independence, community, and the healing power of love.
