Books like The Baby Doctors by Janice Macdonald
After years of separating from her childhood friend—and former love—Dr. Sarah Benedict returns to Port Hamilton, her hometown, with a new husband and a life in Central America behind her. But the memories of Matthew Cameron, her fellow surgeon and former partner, linger with clarity. The two, now each dealing with their own personal upheavals—Sarah a widowed mother, Matthew a divorced parent—face the challenge of reconciling their polar medical approaches and the interference of Matthew’s teenage daughter. Against the backdrop of small-town life, they grapple with whether their friendship can evolve into something more.
The story follows their efforts to navigate past hurts, personal loss, and differing views on medicine while confronting the possibility of a renewed romance approximately fifteen years after first love.
