Coronary heart within the Proper Place: A Memoir

Carolyn Jourdan, an legal professional on Capitol Hill, thought she had it made. However when her mom has a coronary heart assault, she returns house to the Tennessee mountains, the place her father is a rustic physician and her mom works as his receptionist. Jourdan gives to fill in for her mom till she will get higher. However days flip into weeks as she trades her fits for scrubs and finds herself following hazmat rules for cleansing up bodily fluids; sustaining composure when confronted with a splinter the dimensions of a steak knife; and tending to the loquacious Miss Hiawatha, whose each day physician visits are by no means billed. Most essential, although, she comes to grasp what her caring and affected person father means to her close-knit neighborhood.

With nice humor and nice tenderness,
Coronary heart within the Proper Place exhibits that a few of our greatest heroes are those dwelling proper beside us.
