Dawn Breaks, Crabapples Stay

Summary

My husband was a celebrated surgeon, a titan in his field. I was just a housewife.

Ever since I was rejected from the residency program at State General Hospital thirty years ago, even I felt like I wasn't good enough for him.

It wasn't until I was sorting through his belongings after he passed that I found it: an acceptance letter from State General. With my name on it.

In his diary, he wrote that the Croft family had lost their eldest son saving his life. He owed their daughter, Lily, a life debt.
