Speaking in Tungs - Paperback

by Karla M. Jay (Author)

It's her first job in rural Pennsylvania. How hard can five patients be?

In this entertaining novel set in rural Pennsylvania, a young woman from San Francisco searches for her birth parents while beginning her first job as a home-health speech pathologist. She soon learns how hard one job can be as she navigates the backwoods of Tungston, ("Tungs") trying to comply with the needs of her quirky patients, all the while being stalked by a violent fugitive, and finding herself unexpectedly falling for the charms of a small-town, including one hot fireman. Through no fault of her own, she exposes a criminal who has been safely hidden in the thick forest, and now as he tries to stop her from exposing him, her patients' lives, as well as her own are in jeopardy.
