The Doctor's Sweetheart and other stories

In this remarkable collection of fourteen  previously uncollected stories, L.M. Montgomery weaves  her unique brand of magic as she explores the  private passions of the heart. A country doctor never  loses faith in the young woman who swears to return  to him; a beautiful maiden, in a fit of pique,  recklessly pledges to marry the very first man who  asks her; an estranged wife bets her future happiness  on a horse race; two maiden ladies, scared onto a  roof by a dog, ponder marriage to the dog's owner  as the price of rescue. These are some of the  unforgettable characters whose stories--of romance and  friendship reconciliation and abiding love--live  again in an anthology L.M. Montgomery readers will  treasure.
