Summary
Sally, a beautiful young pregnant woman, came to the hospital supposedly for pre-term labor pains but delivered a fully mature, healthy boy. Her face, smiling with relief after the stress of delivery, quickly changed to apprehension.
“Doctor, what will you tell my husband and family? Can you please tell them that the baby is premature?” She asked.
“How can I?” Dr. Thomas replied helplessly. “The baby is fully grown and mature, as anyone can see.”
“You mean to say that there is nothing wrong with the child, Doctor?” Johnykutty, her husband, asked in dismay and anguish. “But we’ve been married for just seven months!”
Her husband and his family go away, leaving Sally and the illegitimate child.
What will be her future?
What fate awaits the unwanted child?
This book is an enchanting story of a young doctor couple who ventured into a remote, rural forested village to re-open a defunct hospital, their involvement in the mysteries and conflicts of their patients, the daunting challenges—both nonmedical and medical, the agony of failures, and the ecstasy of triumphs.
