Harp on the Willow
Part 1 of the Mt. Laurel Memories series
Love is patient and kind...1 Corinthians 13:4
West Virginia, 1869
Three years ago, Dr. Daniel Kavanagh settled down in the quaint town of Mount Laurel and established a medical practice there. The single doctor has been nursing an unrequited crush on Serena Norman, the local schoolteacher.
Just down the road lies the coal-mining town of Owenduffy, considered by most in Mount Laurel to be a backwoods hamlet. When the mine company's doctor abandons his post, Daniel agrees to visit one day a week, much to the consternation of his fellow residents, including his secret love, Serena.
Addie Rose, the daughter of an Owenduffy coal miner, has a gift for caring for others. When a receptionist position in Daniel's office suddenly becomes available, what windows of opportunity will God open for Addie Rose-just a job, a possible career as a nurse, or maybe something more?
Harp on the Willow is a touching tale of true love, the kind that can only come from a Savior who first loved us.
When a handsome young doctor comes to the humble coal-mining town of Owenduffy, West Virginia, a local woman's life is turned upside down. When circumstances thrust them together, what does God have in store for this seemingly unlikely pair?
