Angel in marble

Loved and left pregnant six years ago. Tibbie Buchanan raises her daughter Beth, helps her physician father care for the ailments of the townspeople, and shuns the company of men--until virile and handsome Nick MacKinnon arrives in town and sets out to win Tibbie's love. Trust doesn't come easily to Tibbie and misunderstandings and the eventual return of Tibbie's first love (and Beth's father) complicate things a bit.
