Fair Play

Fair Play by Deeanne Gist
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dr. Billy Jack Tate hung up a shingle in Chicago in 1893 and waited on patients to flock to the door. Unfortunately, 30 year old Billy Jack was a lady doctor in a man's world. So, when one of the chief executives of the Chicago World's Fair came to the city and ask her to fill in at the Woman's Building infirmary, Billy was ecstatic! Her first patient of the day is none other than Texas Ranger Hunter Scott, appointed as a Columbian Guard at the fair, who is dismayed at being treated by the likes of a female. But after Scott heals from his discomfort, the two find themselves thrown together in an attempt to rescue an abandoned baby, save a poor, young boy from prison, and build a safe, new playground in a bad section of town near Hull House.

Humor mixed in with history strikes the right note in this charming, inspirational novel.
