Excerpt: Medicine, Horses, & Motherhood

I have permission from publisher Sunstone Press to distribute an
excerpt from an unusual crossover novel by Texas surgeon Barbara
Bergin. "Endings" mixes Bergin's own worlds of medicine, horses, and
motherhood with a strong romantic core.

It's the story of Leslie Cohen, a 40-year-old doctor who perpetually
takes temporary "locum tenens" assignments to stay on the move. While
filling in for an orthopedist in Abilene, Texas, she meets a man who
might make her quit running.

"Endings" is laced with loving descriptions of ranch and horse life,
packed with fascinating accounts of medical procedures, and loaded
with mystery surrounding Leslie's hidden history.

The excerpt is entitled "Reining" and is a detailed scene at a horse
event that Leslie and her date attend. It shows off the author's
background as a nationally ranked horsewoman.
