Seven Wonders - Paty Jager - Author of Doctor in Petticoats

I wonder  if our wonderful sunshine will ever show up this spring.

I wonder if Laura Ingalls Wilder knew the impact her family stories would have on so many generations.

I wonder if Becket and Castle will ever realize they belong together.

I wonder how more people can be helped to lead a life without poverty.

I wonder about the latest natural disasters and the change of weather overall.

I wonder how authors of a century ago would feel about movies made from there prose.

I wonder why Realtors only give you a half hour notice before bringing people out to see your house.

Blurb:
After a life-altering accident and a failed relationship, Dr. Rachel Tarkiel gave up on love and settled for a life healing others as the physician at a School for the Blind.  She's happy in her vocation--until handsome Clay Halsey shows up and inspires her to want more.

Blinded by a person he considered a friend, Clay curses his circumstances and his limitations.  Intriguing Dr. Tarkiel shows him no pity, though.  To her, he's as much a man as he ever was.

Can these two wounded souls conquer outside obstacles, as well as their own internal fears, and find love?

  2. Yikes. I see I have a typo. Now why didn't I see it when I wrote the thing?

    I wonder how authors of a century ago would feel about movies made from their prose.

  8. I'd think the authors from a century ago would be amazed at the fact that their books could be turned into movies...but hope, like everyone else...that the movie would really reflect what's actually written!

  9. Hi Paty,
    Great snippet. The Little House on the Prairie, I didn't read the books, couldn't get them out here in Australia at the time, but I loved the TV show. Michael Landon is my hero and the little girls were so cute.

    Regards

    Margaret
