By Yet Another Door

de Jane Arbor

When Nurse Joanna Merivale went to Ireland to nurse Roger Carnehill, it was at first just another job to her. But in that job her first thought was to give of her best — something that looked like being impossible in the household full of emotional problems in which she found herself. There was her patient, cruelly frustrated by his accident; young Shuan, who was bitterly jealous of Joanna's skill in handling Roger; Magda, mocking and sophisticated, and René, generous and unselfish. And to add to all these difficulties, Joanna soon found that her own emotions were to be involved as deeply as everyone else's... She felt she belonged here. Joanna knew better than to indulge her feelings when she was nursing, but at Carrieghmere this Irish family and its problems had involved her from the very beginning. "It's like a place I've been homesick for all my life," she said. And not just the place. Roger Carnehill was a man she'd been waiting for, too. But that would bring her no happiness -- because Roger was waiting for beautiful young Shuan!
