Scuff has come a long way from his time as a penniless orphan scraping together a living on the banks of the Thames. Now he's studying medicine at a free clinic run by Dr. Crowe. Lately Crowe has grown distracted after witnessing an altercation between a former patient of his named Ellie-a woman he not only treated but grew to love- and her controlling fiancé. It seems someone is forcing Ellie to marry the man, and as Crowe's emotions come flooding back, he sets out to uncover the troubling connection between Ellie, her father, and her betrothed. With Crowe engrossed in his investigation just weeks before the holidays, Scuff is left to fend for himself, performing surgery after surgery on London's poor and vulnerable. He is desperate for help, so when a needy young girl named Mattie comes to the clinic for treatment, Scuff offers her a place to live in exchange for assistance with his medical work. Together, Scuff and Mattie must not only run the clinic but also fend off the police, who are growing suspicious of Crowe's amateur sleuthing. Will Crowe be able to help Ellie, and will Scuff and Mattie ensure all of their patients-and they themselves-can manage to have a peaceful Christmas?"-- |cProvided by publisher. 538 Requires Boundless App. 588 Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed. 650 0 Man-woman relationships|vFiction. 650 0 Physicians|vFiction. 650 0 Families|vFiction. 651 0 London (England)|vFiction. 655 7 Detective and mystery fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Christmas fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Novels.|2lcgft 655 7 Medical fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Historical fiction.|2lcgft 776 08 |iPrint version:|aPerry, Anne.|tChristmas deliverance |bFirst edition.|dNew York : Ballantine Books, [2022] |z9780593359105|w(DLC) 2022023110 856 40 |uhttps://naper.boundless.baker-taylor.com/ng/view/library /title/0029340938|zFound on Boundless
