A brilliant child protégée, she dreams of becoming a doctor and a surgeon...and accomplishes her goals. Unfortunately, her youth and round, child-like face work against her.

Specializing in infectious diseases, she travels the world-from the States to Europe to South America-honing her skills before winding up in Africa where her skills are desperately needed. Meeting a nurse by the name of Madison MacGregor, she finds they share an insatiable curiosity and a love of helping others, but falling in love was not what she intended. Later, when she loses Maddie to a misunderstanding, she is haunted by the one that got away... Ten years have passed and both the doctor and nurse have moved on with their lives, but fate intervenes when they find themselves working at the same hospital. Their friendship is revived...can their love be rekindled? Will the past haunt them or bring them closer? Will the secrets that both harbor keep them from realizing a future together?

And more importantly, like herself, she is a lesbian. After feeling nothing but pain inside for the last six and a half years, Aly's heart beats once, twice, three times in quick succession. Could this be love again? Could this be that special person that she's waited all these years for?
