Fertile Betrayal

A Nedra Wells, D.V.M., Novel

Plot

"Veterinarian Nedra Wells has moved to a small town in Minnesota to open her own mixed-animal practice. For years she has envisioned being a country vet like her father, and after meeting and falling in love with school teacher Annie Callahan, Nedra was sure she could have it all-- the career, the lover and life in a small town. It's what she's always wanted. It should be perfect. But it's not. Nedra and Annie's reception in town-- as low-profile, but unmistakable lesbians, has been polite, but cool. Annie's reservations about leaving their urban life have not been replaced by a happy settling in. Her sense of isolation only increases with her fear that sharing a life with Nedra will mean giving up her own. Against a backdrop of a possible fracture in her relationship, Nedra's practice confronts her with a deadly health crisis in a local cattle heard. Baffled at first by her inability to diagnose and treat the problem medically, Nedra's inquiry leads her into a broader investigation and ultimately, to the solution of a very human problem." - Back cover.
