The Country Practice

A month as a GP in rural South Australia can't be that hard – or can it?  Meghan Kimble is finally following her dream of working as a country GP.  Her first stop is remote Magpie Creek, and as the new girl in town she's attracting more than her fair share of attention.  The whole community has been waiting for someone like Meghan, but no one is more interested than forthright farmer Sean Ashby, who's not shy about making his intentions known.  Meghan is determined to keep her mind on the job, but in such a tiny town it proves impossible to separate business from pleasure . . . and from pain.

Meredith Appleyard lives in the Clare Valley wine-growing region of South Australia. As a registered nurse and midwife, she has worked in a wide range of country health practice settings, including the Royal Flying Doctor Service. When she isn't writing, Meredith is reading, helping organize the annual Clare Writers' Festival, or at home with her husband and her border collie, Lily. She is the author of The Country Practice. Her second novel, The Doctor Calling, is published in 2016.
