The Promise of Lumby — Gail Fraser

At Montis Inn, the success of Pam Walker's on-location restaurant is leaving her overworked and frazzled. Meanwhile, Lumby's only veterinarian, Dr. Ellen Campbell, has decided to sell her business, and the townsfolk are in full panic mode. Who could possibly replace her?

When animal doctor Tom Candor arrives in Lumby, he seems to be the answer to everyone's prayers. But some residents are not so trusting of the shy, pensive vet, especially newspaper owner Dennis Beezer, who is determined to expose Tom's hidden secrets. The repercussions lead to an unpredictable, over-the-top adventure, and a lesson the people of Lumby won't soon forget?
