Lady Doctor — Adelaide Humphries

LADY DOCTOR --

YOUNG GIRL IN LOVE --

Each describes a different kind of woman. Yet each applied to lovely, dark-haired Dr. Billie Whitcomb, who fell in love with a handsome neighbor with an adorable son and a wife who was strangely missing.

Billie suddenly must face a girl's most agonizing decision: What kind of woman was she going to be?

Dr. Billie Whitcomb always found that her first named helped…until her patients saw the beautiful brown-eyed, brown-haired doctor.

But there was one person who didn't mind at all that the doctor next door was a woman -- and that was the very handsome neighbor who had just moved in, and whose small blond son needed a doctor in a hurry when the boy fell off the tool shed.

Grant Shelton was as dark as his young son, was blond…which led Billie to wonder where Grant's wife was, and how a mother could possibly stay away from an adorable little boy like Jerry.

Then Billie learned that Grant Shelton's wife had left him to resume her career as a musician, and the young doctor -- drawn both to father and son -- was faced with a decision.

It took the combined efforts of Dr. Stuart (“Red”) Foster and a patient who surprisingly turned out to be a detective to make her decision for her -- and to bring happiness to a small and lonely little boy.
