Welcome Home Doc," the second book in the Logger's Ridge series, was not originally written to be part of the Logger's Ridge series. After completing the first draft, I realized how well it fit into that world with only a few minor changes. "Welcome Home Doc" starts roughly a third of the way into "Stranger." It is focused on Lenny's story. It is a parallel story set in the same location with minimal crossover. It ends two-thirds of the way through "Stranger," which means that "Doc's" time period is entirely enclosed within the "Stranger" time period. A pediatrician fresh from residency returns home to join his parents' medical practice. His challenges have less to do with medicine than with life and love.
