Okay, so I have written up a summary of the first book of the series. Are you excited? Well, you better be because the publishing company certainly is. Wow! I have them eating out of my hand now...it feel so great.
While growing up in Rosedale, I never really thought about who had created the town with back breaking strength and without the technology and machinery of our time. I decided one day to research the history of my town and soon was thrown right into a time period so different from the one we are in today. Later, as I drow through the town, it seemed as if all the buildings, cars and people disappeared and I saw the town as it was in 1911; dusty, whitewashed and the townsfolk dressed in simple clothing. That was when I knew that this story had to be told.
Summary:
Dr. Caleb Brooks lived near Creyden, England and worked part time at the Bethlem Psychiatry Hospital to gain hours while studying at Oxford. There he meets a young patient who was put in the hospital by her brother just to keep her from interupting his criminal actions. Caleb takes her on as his ward and it isn't long before they develop feelings for one another and are betrothed. However, on the day of their banquet, her brother comes and takes her away. He searches for her everywhere but itwas to no avail. In a depressed state, he receives a letter from his uncle in BC who needs help in his medical practice on the journey to Rosedale, he adopts a stowaway child and things seemed to appear better to him.
However, when he arrives he is suddenly thrown into the midst of a raging Smallpox virus that is spreading far and wide over the valley. While battling this disease with nurse Annabelle Huntington at his side, he is able to control it and transport the patients to a secure location in Chilliwack. While working together, Belle and Caleb start to fall in love and he proposes to her, but she tells him that she needs to be courted before she can even think about marrying him. A few weeks later, a woman suddenly arrives by train; it is Camille Badeau, Caleb's betrothed. She had escaped the clutches of her brother and travelled acrosst he ocean to be with him. Caleb now has a choice to make, should he stay with Camille or break his promise and continue courting Belle? Though times are rough and danger is continually surrounding them, will they be able to pull together and find their true paths?
