A memoir with romantic elements will touch all your hearts for animals and love between people.
James Herriot, newly graduated from veterinary school in the early 1900's, finds a local Yorkshire veterinarian to work with. School is nothing like real life and most of his experiences can only be taught by doing.
Working in the English countryside, enduring the rain, winds, and snow, the farm animals are loved and in need of care. This leaves James little time for a young woman he has his eye on when her father's stock needs attention.
James doesn't enjoy a cow or sheep needing his care, but he feels a different type of adrenalin when visiting Helen's farm. Pushing himself to get the nerve to ask her for a date, it doesn't end well. Neither does his next attempt on another lass.
Maybe he's only comfortable around the animals whose heart he knows how to mend.
Yet, he doesn't give up. Slow but steadfast, he finds a way to interest Helen in another outing. And then another. Love blooms in the spring!
Happy reading,
Dawn
