Bryson City Secrets: Even More Tales Of A Small-Town Doctor In The Smoky Mountains (2006) - Plot & Excerpts
This was an intensely personal book, revealing the doctor's thoughts on many weighty spiritual issues as patients under his care passed away. In it, he also reveals a private and devastating incident in the Larimore's family life in hopes that others may be helped.The only thing I did not like about the book was the introduction of the concept that something devastating had happened at the beginning - it overshadowed everything else the book had to say up until the time the secret was revealed, which didn't occur until the end. I found myself reading with a sense of dread, and not really absorbing other points the doctor made until going back and re-reading a couple of the chapters.Still, I was amazed at the stories the doctor told of some of his patients, and he gave me a great deal to think about. I've read the whole series now, and I find it interesting that there is a progression from a more light-hearted account in the first book, to a greater emphasis on how the spirit and emotions impact physical healing in the second, to the intensely spiritual content of the third. In this third book, I cried more times than I can count but I also felt immeasurably blessed.
