But since Lucys mother passed away, the family home, a gorgeous antebellum mansion, has fallen into disrepair and the depth of her fathers debts is only starting to be understood. Selling the family home may be the only optionuntil her Aunt Olympia floats the idea of using Crawford house to hold the local free medical clinic, which has just lost its space. As if turning the plantation home into a clinic isnt bad enough, Lucy is shocked and dismayed to see that the doctor who will be manning the clinic is none other than Jeremiah Chevyher first love.
