Dr. Sparky Compton fears she’ll disappoint everyone (except her mother) if she doesn’t return to her hometown, Weldon, Kentucky, and join Dr. Singer’s practice. When Sparky visits Sassy Creek, Miss Ovaleta asks a favor, which results in Sparky being detoured.
Luke enjoys Miss Ovaleta’s sweet treats, but her match-making schemes annoy him. When Dr. Sparky shows up at his place, he’s irritated. The last thing he wants is for Sparky to discover his secret. The sooner she leaves town, the better.
Fate intervenes—Sparky and Luke are stranded and they battle obstacles to help others. More than one life may be lost if they don’t find the courage to face their fears. If they fail, they may never discover the road that leads to happiness.
