Dr. Josie Tate, newly divorced, needs to escape the personal and professional pressures of Colorado's Front Range. Seeking a more tranquil environment to heal and to practice her skills, the rookie veterinarian moves to the rural mountain town of Pagosa Springs.
Pagosa Springs offers Josie everything she wants: the mentorship of a more experienced vet, natural beauty, and a chance to spend time with her much-loved dog and horses. She's thrilled to discover the varied nature of veterinary work in the mountains, from delivering foals to removing porcupine quills from the faces of overly inquisitive dogs.
A call from a sheriff's deputy sends Josie out to a ranch, where she finds an injured, neglected horse. Initially outraged at the animal's condition, Josie relaxes when the horse's owner, Joe Brinkman, explains the circumstances behind the animal's condition.
After initial conflict, Josie forms a friendship with Joe, a widowed professor from Denver with a young daughter. The two explore and camp the high mountain trails surrounding Pagosa Springs.
With her bruised psyche healing and her veterinary career on track, Josie may be ready for a new romance. But when Joe makes an unexpected announcement, Josie must make a life-defining choice.After graduating from Colorado State University in 1975, Patty Latham, DVM, practiced veterinary medicine for forty-two years in partnership with her husband, Jim Latham Jr., DVM. Twenty-five of those years were in the Napa Valley.
The Lathams then ran an equine-only general practice in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, and in Larimar County. They also taught equine dentistry at Colorado State University.
Now retired, Latham has published over twenty case reports. Her freelance articles have been featured online and in EQUUS and America's Horse magazines. She is the author of Napa Valley Vets The Balance of Lives, in addition to Colorado Blood.
The Lathams live in Archuleta County and enjoy skiing, hiking, riding, and spending time with their children and grandchildren.Thanks for subscribing!
