As an ambitious young doctor with a penchant for research, Luke Bradford never wanted to set up practice in a remote rural town. But to pay back his student loans and to fulfill a promise from his past, he heads for Watervalley, Tennessee - and immediately stumbles into one disaster after another. Will he be labeled the town idiot before he’s even introduced as the new doctor?
Very quickly he faces some big challenges - from resuscitating a three-hundred-pound farmer who goes into cardiac arrest to not getting shot by a local misanthrope for trespassing. He expects the people of Watervalley to be simple, but finds his relationships with them are complicated, whether he’s interacting with his bossy but devout housekeeper, the attractive schoolteacher he consistently alienates, or the mysterious kid next door who climbs trees while wearing a bike helmet.
When a baffling flu epidemic hits Watervalley, Luke faces his ultimate test. Whether the community embraces him or not, it’s his responsibility to save them. And he’ll soon discover that while living in a small town may not be what he wants, it may be just what he needs . . .
This book has a bit of everything in it and it will keep you entertained as well. You are drawn into the story right away and before long you are laughing at the poor doctor and the silly things that happen to him. The way the book was written you are also quickly drawn into the lives of the residents of Watervalley.
The book moves along at a fast pace but there is plenty happening so you won't get bored. The mystery of the flu epidemic was a good read and again interesting. This book is the first in the series and you can find out more information about the others here.
Stars out of 5 : 5 I have nothing negative to say about this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading more in the series.
I purchased the book and all of the opinions are my own.
