While Knolls Community Hospital is under reconstruction after a fire, Dr. Lukas Bower takes a temporary position in another small town, a three-hour drive from the people he's come to love. He soon finds himself beset by unethical co-workers, incompetent hospital management, and a flood of patients– including an angry motorcycle gang!
If Dr. Mercy Richmond had any illusions that life as a new Christian would be easy, they have been swiftly shattered. She struggles to balance her compassion and duty toward her patients with making time for the needs of her daughter. To further complicate matters, Mercy is torn between a relationship scarred by betrayal, and her hope for the affections of a man she rarely sees. In the midst of it all, a constant stream of patients, their lives often in shambles, threatens to overwhelm her fledgling faith.
