Healing salve or deeper wounds? Will returning to the site of her disgrace bring healing or plunge her deeper into a pit of shame? The daughter of missionaries, Nadia Roberts lived in Thiotte, Haiti, until she was fifteen. A series of bad choices resulted in the worst nightmare of her life, leaving her emotionally scarred, and forcing her family to return stateside. Eleven years later, she returns to Thiotte where she plans to use her training as a nurse practitioner in helping meet the medical needs of the people and hopefully rid herself of the shame she has carried for far too long. Doctor Brandt Mercer has recently arrived in Pedernales, Dominican Republic - a small hamlet near the Dominican/Haitian border. As a medical missionary, he is assigned work in a new clinic on the Haitian side of the border near Anse-a-Pitres, Haiti. Although not fond of male doctors, or men in general for that matter, when the Haitian family she's living with relocates to Anse-a-Pitres, Nadia finds herself working along side the young Doctor Mercer. Will this unexpected twist of fate prove to be the healing salve she longs for or her ultimate demise?
