The story of Dr. Lairmore's experiences as doc in a small town! Several times he has to reconsider what he learned in med school and the small town he now lives in. The book chronicles his experiences near Bryson City, NC. An interesting read.

The Smokies are a second home so reading this book just felt comfortable and enjoyable. While it's not so much about the area, it still highlights some of the reason it's such a beautiful place to be. I loved the intersection of faith and medical practice in this read and the interesting details that go into a doctor's beginning practice. While not an edge-of-your seat story, it is engaging.

This is one of those sweet books. I would have thought he was an old guy reminicing about things but then I looked at the picture and he is not old. I liked the spirituality of the book. Also the old time remedies that they used were interesting. It gives an idea of small town life and how it can be light years from city living, and not just in miles. It takes a special person to adapt to life in Bryson City. I look forward to reading his other books.

What a lovely memoir. I loved All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot and this had a very similar vibe. I became so invested in the small town and his family. Would recommend if you like wholesome memoirs.
