It meant she'd be spending a year in Holland. Adelaide was determined to do her best, and she more than succeeded! She adored Holland, liked her colleagues and even mastered some of the language. She also unexpectedly -- and disastrously -- fell in love with her new boss. But Professor Coenraad van Essen was clearly out of her league.

    When Dr. Paul Doelsma offers Maggy a job at a nursing home in Holland, she takes it. There was something special about Dr. Doelsma, and it wasn't just that he was taller than her. She was sensible enough to realize he'd never love her in return because he had already chosen himself a wonderful wife. But who is the lucky girl?

    And that was before she met the attractive Nicholas Muir!
