A Heart Full of Miracles by Stephanie Mittman


Abby Merganser has been in love with Dr. Seth Hendon, the brother of her best friend Sarah, her entire life. But when Sarah dies, Seth blames himself for not being able to save her. His guilt eats away at his soul and self-confidence until depression overwhelms him and he considers giving up medicine.

Cock-eyed optimist Abby decides to force Seth to come to the conclusion that he loves her, despite the fact that her upbeat view of life is in direct opposition to Seths despair. However, in her naiveti she goes after what she wants, getting Seth to see the world in another light.

Just when it appears that she has won the battle, Abby realizes she will have to fight a new war. The headaches she has been experiencing may be life-threatening.

Seth, who has nearly turned his back on medicine, will be hurt and even more disillusioned when he learns of her condition. Can she push him away to save him from pain or will his newfound strength help them find a cure?

I'll not take credit for the summary, I took it from a website. I found it quite nice. It's a story about this doctor who doesn't trust in his abilities anymore since he blames himself for his sister's death. And along comes Abby Merganser, best friend of Sarah, Dr. Seth Hendon's sister.

She doesn't hold it against him that Sarah died. Quite the opposite, she has had feelings for the doctor for a long time, but he is easily 7 years older than she. When she tries to convince him that there is something between them, he denies it by saying she should have a better man. In addition to that the headaches that Abby has been having have begun to grow in intensity. She doesn't want to tell Seth because she feels that it would be unfair. She knows that Seth does feel something for her but he is leaving the town and she feels that if she does tell him what she believes is wrong with her, she would be holding him back. Instead, she allows herself to be assumed to be engaged to someone so she feels it will make it easier on Seth.

Seth does find out eventually and is furious about her condition. There is another doctor in the town and he told Seth about Abby's condition. This happens after Seth returns to the village. The other doctor is unable to perform the surgery required, so Seth is needed to be the hands whil the second doctor instructs him. Beore the surgery, Seth insists on marrying Abby and after the surgery, they wait for a long time but Abby eventually does wake and everyone is happy again.

If you want to know Abby's condition, you actually have to read the book. XD

The cover for Seth is HAWT!!!
