The Surgeon's Doorstep Baby
“The rain was interminable. There was nothing for it but for the valley to hunker down and wait.
If anyone had told Blake he could spend a week trapped in a farmhouse with five children and be...almost content, he’d have labelled them crazy, but that’s exactly what he did.
Maggie was frantically busy. That rush of water through the valley had caught everyone unprepared. There’d been stock loss—nothing dire, but farmers had been caught by surprise and there were sprains and bruises from r...ushing to save stock, grazes that had turned septic from floodwater, leg abscesses that had got wet and stayed wet too long, back problems as people heaved belongings higher than the water.
