ISBN: 0310256720 ISBN-13: 9780310256724 Publisher: Zondervan OUR PRICE: $17.99 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: September 2005 Annotation: Welcome to Bryson City, a small town tucked away in a fold of North Carolina's Smoky Mountains. The scenery is breathtaking, the home cooking can?t be beat, the Maroon Devils football team is the pride of the town, and you won?t find better steelhead fishing anywhere. But the best part is the people you?re about to meet in the pages of Bryson City Seasons. In this joyous sequel to his bestselling Bryson City Tales, Dr. Walt Larimore whisks you along on a journey through the seasons of a Bryson City year. On the way, you?ll encounter crusty mountain men, warmhearted townspeople, peppery medical personalities, and the hallmarks of a simpler, more wholesome way of life. Culled from the author's experiences as a young doctor settling into rural medical practice, these captivating stories are a celebration of this richly textured miracle called life. The whole book is delightful. My only criticism: there wasn't enough of it! Margaret Brand, MD, co-laborer with Dr. Paul Brand in leprosy work in India |
