Constance Carter walks into the offices of Romance, Inc. and asks for help in planning a trip to Europe, even though she has no money. Ann Martin, the firm's head councelor, does just that, working out a travel itinerary for her pipe dream. Later, in the park, Constance meets Lila Mayburn, and a deep friendship ensues. Lila is a wealthy but lonely old woman with no friends, but a family who visit her out of duty (and future inheritance) once a month. Then young Gil Rayburn arrives and there is an immediate spark between he and Constance.

Introducing Dr. Pat Windsor, the brilliant young physician..
Genre

Characters
Dr. Pat Windsor (introduction); Dr. Lang (flashback); Adam; Dean Bentley; Jerry Blade; Lane Abbot
Synopsis
Dr. Pat makes a daring parachute jump onto Sky Peak, in order to treat an injured member of a geological expedition. That man is trapped on a ledge below the peak, and reluctantly his brother (astounded that she is a woman, and a fearless one at that) lowers her down. While being pulled back up she is attacked by an eagle, and has the gumption to throw a bottle of ammonia salts in its face. Later, Pat remembers how she came to be a doctor, and of how her future husband tried to get her to give it up. She refused and has been committed to her work one hundred per cent ever since.
