"This book is more than fun homespun stories of small-town medicine. You may see yourself in its mirror, yet trust me, you'll be the better for it in the end."--from the foreword
by
Jerry B. Jenkins, #1
New York Times bestselling novelist and biographer
When Dr. Walt Larimore moved his young family to Kissimmee, Florida, to start a small-town medical practice in 1985, he had no idea he was embarking on an adventure that would change his life in ways both large and small. This tender, insightful collection of stories chronicles the young doctor's passage from inexperience to maturity as a physician, husband, father, and community member. Filled with characters colorful and crusty, warmhearted and hotheaded, witty and winsome, these captivating stories glow with warmth, love, and humor. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll wish Dr. Walt was your doctor.
"A delightful book full of sound wisdom and fascinating characters."--
