I really enjoyed this book not only for the romance, but it was interesting to learn about the Natives of Canada. Definitely kept my interest and worth the read.
She forgot to tell him WHAT???
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is the story of Dr. Jordan Burke, who flees a desperately unhappy marriage to a drug addict, and winds up in the remote First Nations island village of Ahousaht. Once there, she quickly falls for Silas Keefer, the community's traditional healer, with whom she is able to work comfortably despite the differences in their approaches to helping people. The downside (and it's a major one): Jordan has neglected to tell Silas (or anyone else) that she is still married. So when her deranged husband shows up, everything inevitably falls to pieces. Then, after resolving major childhood issues with their fathers (both had felt abandoned as children) Silas and Jordan get back together. This story has a sort of split personality; on the one hand, it really bothered me that Jordan got involved with Silas while she was still married (this is more than just a little "technicality," as one minor character terms it), and Silas also came off as a bit self-righteous at times. The ending was also weaker than I'd expected. But the setting and cultural information were detailed and fascinating, and the story just also seemed very hopeful.
