A doctor (Sarah Jones) helps townspeople who fear a mysterious illness.
In this Christian film from Janette Oke's Love Comes Softly series. Belinda Simpson is recovering from the loss of her husband. She arrives in a small Missouri town to become the local doctor. The town doesn't immediately take to a female doctor. She's also faced with the challenge of an infection in the town, that everyone believes came from the local orphanage. With help from her friend Annie and Lee Owens, a young blacksmith, Belinda seeks a cure.—Alena
Distraught and doubtful of God by her husband's death, Belinda Simpson takes a job in Missouri as a doctor. Upon her arrival, she and her friend from medical school find the town prejudiced against their orphanage, believing it to be the origin of a disease that is currently spreading through the community. Former orphan Belinda attempts to help the orphans and finds help from one particularly strong-willed girl. She must also heal all the other sick people and defend the orphanage and its residents from the frightened townspeople and the ruthless Ray, all while trying to make some crucial decisions about her life, a possible budding romance, and her own faith.—Kyliee Jay
