Resident Nurse

"All her life Frances Gaynor cherished two ambitions: to be a nurse and to be accepted as an equal by her neighbors. But she was without money or relatives and when the iron gate clanged shut at the grey-windowed orphanage, she was a prisoner."

It was the future that counted, not the past.

Once, Thad Borden had boldly teased and then kissed Gay. He had been just as bad as rich spoiled, Vivian, who delighted in humiliating Gay and the rest of the orphans.

Luckily, a generous old woman and a kindly doctor helped Gay to rise above her potentially crippling childhood to become a nurse of high standing in the community.

But would she ever grow to forgive the childish hurts unknowingly inflicted by the Thad Bordens of this world?
