"Back to Bryson City with the Good Doc Walt"
I'm so excited to tell all the fans of Dr. Larimore's first
book BRYSON CITY TALES that you won't have to catch a plane
or even a train in order to visit Bryson City again. Just
open up the pages of Walt's newest book and you'll
instantly be transported back into the lives of the folks
we came to know so well. You'll see most of the characters
from the first book along with meeting some new ones along
the way. As was the case in Tales, Dr. Larimore blends up a mix of
inspirational faith with medical knowledge as he treats
each one of his patients. From the delivery room to the
morgue, on the football field and deep into the mountains
to do home visits, you'll get a chance to hear some great
true life stories. When I wasn't wrapped up waiting to hear what Walt's next
patient would do, I was sitting back chuckling as Walt also
takes the time to catch you up on his special family and
how they too adjust to life in this small town. Fans of
the first book, will want to run not walk to the nearest
bookstore and pick up this book.

This delightful sequel to Bryson City Tales follows Dr.
Walt Larimore and his family through their real-life second-
year experiences of practice in the Smoky Mountains.
Favorite characters are returning, along with many new and
colorful characters as Dr. Larimore's growing expertise as
a wilderness physician, and his work with the Swain County
Rescue Squad and the Maroon Devils football team, are all
put to the test as he strives to incorporate his faith into
his practice and family life.
More Bryson City Tales infiltrates our hearts and wraps us
up in the events of the town--a suspicious and very shady
new doctor in town, moonshine and bartering, the desperate
search for Dr. Larimore's lost son, and even the doctor's
winning performance at the Bryson City Fire Department's
Miss Flame Contest. With heart-warming, humorous, dramatic,
and poignant moments, these stories will work the same
enchantment in the hearts of readers as did Bryson City
Tales, instilling images of grace and joy, perseverance and
humility, and the enduring power of faith.
SummaryDr. Larimore and his family are back in this hilarious,
dramatic, and poignant sequel that follows this real
doctor's second year of practice in a rural mountain town.
