Wow! I just finished
That Certain Spark, and I enjoyed it. I found the story of Dr. Taylor Bestman interesting and enthralling and well worth the read. However, sometimes I wanted to knock a few heads together because some of the characters in the book were rather small-minded in their thinking about a female physician. I certainly enjoy returning to Gooding, Texas, which each new character Hake brings there. The women who lead the stories are friendly, smart, caring, fierce, and well-written. Taylor is no exception. As the twin sister of a veternarian brother, Taylor has come to Gooding to fulfill a four-year contract as the town doctor. She is well-trained, full of wisdom, ingenious, compassionate, and prepared. She has a calling on her life in the field of medicine and takes her oath very seriously. There are those in Gooding, particularly men, who would have her ridden out of town on a rail simply because she's a woman and can have no actual ability as a doctor. The story has some twists and turns, some romance, some tears, some cheers, and a message of redemption. I highly recommend this latest Gooding novel.
