I was on fire yesterday and I got all the decorating done for Christmas. I was feeling pretty darn good about myself, but then I realized I had a ton of things to make before Christmas. My ToDo list went from zero to sixty in six seconds. I have the little personalized gift I wanted to make for my baby bassets, all the honey items from our sweet little bees, and of course cookies! I love baking the Christmas cookies every year. I could make it easier on myself and just bake one kind of cookie, but I love seeing all the different shapes and colors on the Christmas plates. That’s how my mother did them, and that’s how I hope my baby bassets will do them as well. I am not sure my oldest will carry on the tradition, but my youngest wants to be a chef. I wonder if he wants to be a chef so he can finally have a good meal at home. I went easy on him last night and fixed him chicken tenders. The look of relief on his face was clear.

After he is nearly destroyed by a professional tragedy, Dr. Benton Yancey and his handyman/friend, Adam Zantner, join a wagon train heading overland west to reach their destination of Whitfield, California, where Ben had been invited to serve as town physician.
It is an idyllic setting, in an idyllic countryside. Ben is summoned to meet with the power behind the throne, Charles Holcomb, a man apparently wealthy beyond measure. The new doctor easily settles into a comfortable routine of meeting various Whitfield officials and caring for his patients.
Patient care extends to weekly visits at the local orphanage, managed by a compassionate lady named Madonna Bellini. While attending to various curious injuries to the resident children, Ben meets Mrs. Bellini’s assistant and an orphan herself, Jessamine Lassiter.
Being a Yancey, for whom every event moves at a faster speed than for the average human being, Ben is captivated by the lovely young lady. Intelligent and charming, she seems to return his interest.
Until outside affairs interfere.

To find out exactly who is the serpent in this Garden of Eden, and the reason for it, Ben must call in the troops: his Pinkerton Man brother, John, and twin U.S. Marshals, Thomas and Travis. Once again the Yancey clan is doing what they do best, at the forefront of crime and passion.
