Book Review: A Family Doc Gets it Right
Summary: 5 Stars
I had the honor of listening to and then talking to Dr Sams at an AAFP meeting in Kansas City 10 years ago. I had read all of his works. He is one of those authors whose 'voice' you can hear as your read his writings. He has been a family doctor in a small southern town for many years; his observations of humanity cannot be surpassed.
My wife read this book and told me that it was unusual. Unlike so many books, it has a very weak plot (if any).
But also unlike so many books, it has a fantastic ending. Many authors have a great "idea" and then lose their way and fail at the conclusion. Dr Sams is just the opposite. His ending in this book is extraordinary.
I am a fan of Ferrol. He does not disappoint. This novel is littered with colloquialisms! What a true gem!
