Dr. Kilbourne Comes Home — Dorothy Worley

When Randy Kilbourne puts off his homecoming for another year--to work with the famous surgeon, Dr. Gordon Gray--his foster sister, Ann believes that Randy will never return to Lakeland to work in the ill equipped hospital there, and to take some of the burdens off the shoulders of "Uncle Doc" now nearing seventy.

And Dorinda Gray has much the same idea...Randy, the first man who has failed to fall for her charms at first sight--and by far the most attractive of her father's succession of assistants--must not only fall in love with her, but this time the beauty Dorinda herself is serious.

Randy Kilbourne grows up, and the lovely Dorinda meets her match in Miss Worley's story of a doctor divided between loyalty to old ties and the pull of a glamorous new world.


WAS IT TO BE THE DREAM -- OR DORINDA?

Now that Randy Kilbourne had finished his medical training, he was free to return to his hometown hospital and the practice built up by his devoted, but ailing uncle. The plan pleased everyone, especially Ann, who had counted the days till Randy's return.

But Ann's dreams began to fade when Randy accepted a position with an imminent surgeon at a large hospital, and when he began writing home about the glamorous, fun-loving Dorinda.

Was Dr. Kilbourne forgetting the ill-staffed hospital and the girl back home in the dazzle of rich patients and exciting romance?
