Seattle — Colleen L. Reece

Shepherd of Love Hospital stands as a beacon of hope in Seattle, Washington. Its Christian staff members work with each other - and with God - to care for the sick and injured. But sometimes they find their own lives in need of a healing touch. Jonica Carr is a respected nurse, but behind her calm and capable demeanor beats the heart of a scared and frightened little girl. Can she find her Lamp in Darkness? A friendship has developed since Nurse Galbraith and Dr. Barton have worked together. Now, as love starts to blossom, terrible Flickering Flames of the past also break through. Lindsey Best is proud to be a nurse at the prestigious hospital, but outside forces war against her newly Kindled Spark of peace...and may ruin a chance for love. On the verge of marriage, yet lonely and confused, Patti Thompson takes a leave of absence from the hospital - and finds true love beside a Hearth of Fire. Can those who heal find healing for their own souls? How will the Shepherd for whom their hospital is named reveal the love each one longs for?
