Katie's Young Doctor — Elizabeth Seifert

Gabe Guyot was brilliant, handsome, and dedicated to medicine. When he came to Katie for help she knew she had to say yes.

But that meant turning her back on the people who loved her most.

Gabriel Guyot would not take advice from anyone. There was always a bitter clash when Helen Merritt, his employer's daughter nagged at him to take a research job in a corporation instead of wasting time in the laboratory in the back room of her father's drugstore. And when Dr. Katie Leggett, impressed by Gabe's brilliance, urged him to get his M.D., he said no again. A doctor's degree was Gabe's dream, but it was financially way out of his reach.

Katie wanted to help Gabe, but her three grown sons had claims on her. Then Katie became ill, and the boys rushed home with their pretty, demanding wives. All were solicitous, worried, and a little jealous of their mother's interest in the tall, blond stranger. Lois Leggett decided to use her beauty and her charm to find out from Gave what her mother-in-law was planning to do for him. Her intrigue precipitated a crisis which taught them all a lesson, Gabe, Helen, Dr. Katie's children and even Dr. Katie herself.
