Читать книгу P.S. You're a Daddy! - Dianne Drake, Dianne Drake - Страница 2

A few years ago I met an amazing woman—Nona—who travelled by horse through the mountain regions of the eastern United States. What fascinated me about her was not so much that she spent day after day on the trail, in the woods, in the mountains, and in areas so isolated the world had forgotten them—I was fascinated by the fact that she was a doctor who packed her medicine into her saddle bags and took it to the people who lived in those areas. People who wouldn’t have it otherwise.

At the time I guess I didn’t even know such areas existed in the United States, much less that the people from those places didn’t have access to the same things I had. But Nona was diligent in what she referred to as her ‘calling’, and she took her skills and knowledge to people who didn’t take for granted the conveniences of life most of us are accustomed to having.

I like writing about people who, like Nona, have a similar calling. People who don’t practise ‘convenient’ medicine. That’s why you see this recurring theme in so many of my books. There are dedicated, quiet people in this world who serve without accolade. I’ve met them in my travels, been befriended by them, seen them work under conditions I can’t even begin to describe. They do have a calling—a higher calling, I believe. And it’s because of them I bring you the story of Deanna and Beau, who wrestle with the life they had in New York, and the one they’ll face together in a community one hundred miles from nowhere.

As always, wishing you health and happiness

Dianne
