The story of how Ducan Childers rejected the life of a fashionable physician to become a healer of the poor. It is the story of the opposition he met -- from society, from his wife, from his bitter enemies, and from his father-in -law. It is, too, the story of lovely Jenny Greenway, the one woman who loved and believed him.
