Thanks to Jessica Butler of Berkley/NAL, Penguin Group USA, I am giving away one copy of MORE THINGS IN HEAVEN AND EARTH.


Book Description:


New medical school graduate Luke Bradford makes a three-year commitment to serving a clinic in small, remote Watervalley, Tennessee; in return, his student debt will be forgiven. He’d prefer to be elsewhere, discovering miracle cures and making a name for himself, but he can’t resist this financial opportunity. When he asks the way to Watervalley and is told, “Keep driving ‘til you start feeling stupid,” his expectations take a nosedive.  


And after a rocky first week involving a police escort, a gas explosion, a Code Blue with a 300-pound patient and a casual walk that ends in a face-off with a poetry-quoting, gun-toting crank, Luke is convinced that he is destined never to fit in. But the townsfolk aren’t quite what they first appear. His prickly housekeeper Connie Thompson turns out to have a heart of gold, and more smarts than he could ever imagine. The gun-toting crank becomes a welcome companion, despite his on-going feud with the townsfolk. And the boy next door is more than a simple mischief-maker. As Luke gradually uncovers all their secrets, he gains an appreciation for who they are, and the choices and contributions they’ve made. The attractive woman who has gotten a bad impression of him—multiple times—starts to see him in a new light.  And he begins to feel at home in Watervalley.


Praise for MORE THINGS IN HEAVEN AND EARTH:

“The best small-town Americana…This story warmed me, made me laugh, and then kept a smile on my face.”—New York Times Bestselling Author Charles Martin

“Told through the eyes of Dr. Luke Bradford, a newly-minted MD, the story of the little town of Watervalley, Tennessee, and its inhabitants comes vividly to life. Jeff High’s medical background gives him that cutting edge in the technical details of his tale and his love of his native Tennessee and the human race shines from every page. Dr. Fingal Flahertie O’Reilly is delighted to welcome Luke, a TransAtlantic colleague to be fiercely proud of.”–Patrick Taylor MD, author of the New York Times and USA Today best-selling Irish Country Doctor novels.
