Kelly's Favorite Bible Verse

"Delight yourself also in the Lord, and he shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him and he shall bring it to pass." Psalms 37:4-5 NKJV

Eliza's Buttermilk Biscuits

Recipe: 2 cups unbleached flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon sugar

½ teaspoon salt

One stick (½ cup) cold unsalted butter

¾ cup cold buttermilk

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Measure out dry ingredients into a large bowl and keep in the freezer while getting everything ready. Cut cold butter into small cubes, dropping into flour mixture. Use a food processor fitted with a metal blade, two knives, a pastry blender, or your fingers to cut in the butter until it is worked through and crumbly. Work quickly. If using the food processor, do quick pulses. Stir buttermilk into flour mixture using a rubber spatula forming a ball. Dump out onto floured surface quickly kneading into a ball, careful not to overwork. Cut with a sharp knife into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rough ball and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until golden. Serve immediately. 

About Eliza's Hope

On the ship from Ireland, Eliza O’Connor loses her mother and husband to cholera. She longs to become a doctor after training under the local physician, but few schools accept women. Now that the doctor has passed away, she works at her father's boarding house. When a handsome doctor arrives beaten and stripped of his jacket and boots, she believes he's another gold-crazy miner heading for the hills where her brother has ventured.

At his mother's desperate request, Dr. Levi Dumont travels from Boston to find his younger brother and bring him home. After Levi is robbed and beaten, his trustworthy horse drops him in back of the O'Connor's Boarding House where the enchanting Eliza treats his wounds.

When Eliza's brother returns from the gold fields with a broken leg, Eliza learns her friend needs medical attention. Eliza is determined to make the treacherous journey. When she accompanies Levi to Diamond Falls, Levi discovers affection for Eliza despite his engagement to a woman in Boston.

Though Eliza and Levi come from different worlds, their hopes are the same. Will Eliza find opportunity to study medicine? Can Levi find a life with Eliza despite his fiancé and medical practice in Boston?
