When Senate Counsel Carolyn Jourdan returns to the mountains of eastern Tennessee from Washington, DC after the sudden illness of her mother, she has no idea how long she’ll be needed to fill in her role as receptionist for her father, the kindly country doctor.

She figures at first it will just be two days. But readers can be glad that it wasn’t as in Heart in the Right Place, Jourdan takes the reader on a true journey of the heart to the people of eastern Tennessee and through all the trials and tribulations of a small country one-doctor medical practice. One where he might be paid in even a fox carcass if he charged his patients anything at all.

We meet and learn to love the patients in the practice such as the eccentric Miss Hiawatha and the kindly Mike who doesn’t hardly know he is handicapped. And then there are the two friends Obie and Kermit. You never know what kind of predicament they are going to get themselves into next and what kind of injuries it’s going to cause. Each time they come through the clinic door it’s going to be something totally different. The big question on everyone’s mind is, will Carolyn stay in eastern Tennessee where she earned $0 in one year or return to her high-power, six-figure job in Washington, DC?

It was recommended I get this book via Amazon’s Customers Also Bought feature after I had purchased another book. I clicked on it and read the description. As a long-time medical office employee it sounded right up my alley. But it would appeal to anyone who enjoys sweet stories with quirky characters such as the Mitford series by Jan Karon or anyone who loves the TV series Northern Exposure or Ballykissangel. But these are very real people here, not those from fiction. I laughed and I cried, I read passages out loud to my husband, and I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning two nights in a row to finish it. I can’t recommend this book enough. You will want to buy one for yourself and another as a gift for someone you care about. (less)

I read this fun and profound memoir over the course of a weekend in the mountains back in 2008, and it remains one of the fondest reading memories I've ever had. Carolyn Jourdan was compelled to return home to her native Tennessee from her high-powered Washington, D.C. career when her mother fell ill. Her father, the sort of rural doctor "they" don't make anymore, needed her help running his practice. Thinking she'd only be there a few weeks, Jourdan soon began to discover the deep integrity the...more

I bought this book and started reading it because I thought it would have some fun stories about working in a small town medical practice. It does have those stories but it also talks about life and what is important about life. As with most good books there are parts that will make you think about your own life and the choices that you make that make your life what it is. Although the author decides to leave her high powered, "important" job in Washington D.C. I, at least, did not feel like she...more

I hate to use the term "heartwarming," but Heart in the Right Place is just that. I don't want to label it a "dame tome" (a la "chick flick"), but it is that, too. Labels like those just cover up how good Carolyn Jourdan's memoir is. Carolyn, an educated, savvy lawyer on a Congressional staff in D.C., is forced to return to rurban East Tennessee to take over as receptionist in her father's one-man practice while the regular receptionist -- her mother -- recuperates from a heart attack.

An emotional journey that inspires you to evaluate what is truly important in life and your place in it.

The story opens as Carolyn, the accomplished, independently successful attorney receives a phone call from her father…her mother is being treated for an apparent heart attack in the local emergency room. She immediately packed a quick bag, jumped into her expensive Mercedes and traveled the 500 miles from D.C. to her family’s hometown in East Tennessee. Her father was a wonderful family doctor and her mom had worked by his side, officially as the receptionist, but more a Jill-of-all-trades, for as far back as she could remember. Now, Carolyn would have to fill-in for her Mom for a “few days.” Thinking she would be back in D.C. before Monday morning, Carolyn resigned herself to a couple of days of answering phones and whatever else, and then she would get back to the real world where she could make a difference. However, a few days turn to a few weeks and that quickly fades into a few months and the question that plagues the reader, was obviously wreaking havoc on Carolyn’s mind as well–will she return to D.C. or stay in East Tennessee?

At first she was completely out of her element, feeling inadequate and ineffective. She had always believed that by being an attorney she could make a difference, on the national level, which in turn would help large numbers of people. Now, after months of being immersed in this simple, country community, interacting with the patients on a personal level, she began to see her parents selfless devotion to these people in a new light.

Far from the hustle and bustle of high powered politicians and law makers, is where you find the folks who are making a difference, every day…changing the world with one selfless act of kindness at a time. Carolyn Jourdan’s memoir is an honest look into the heart of a young woman that discovers she is and has always been, her parents daughter. Chock-full of sweet southern charm, quaint characters that will have you laughing out loud one minute and reaching for a tissue the next, this is a wonderful story. Delightful, insightful and inspirational, Heart In The Right Place is a beautifully written novel that challenges us to rethink our goals, values and perceptions. Life is unpredictable and it’s human nature to search for your purpose and to want to make a difference, which is very personal and quite difficult. And yet, Carolyn Jourdan shares her intimate journey through the tough questions, self-doubt and ultimately the choice to make sweeping changes in her life. A world away from the high-powered, black-tie gatherings where wheeling and dealing is the name of the game, she found her calling in a country doctor’s small office.

Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind memoir, Jourdan’s words will stay with you long after the book has been snugly tucked away on the shelf.

Carolyn Jourdan, forty two years old, was a U.S. Senate counsel, earning six figures a year, driving a Mercedes Benz, living an exciting, affluent life in Washington DC when she received a telephone call that her mother had possibly had heart attack and she was needed at home in rural Tennessee to help manage her father’s medical practice.

The job was supposed to last for less than a week.
However, her seventy-two-year-old mother didn’t recuperate as quickly as she had anticipated and her seventy-two-year-old father had no one else who could perform the many duties necessary to run the office: complete the claim forms for insurance payments, greet the patients and answer the phones, order supplies, etc. The days expanded into weeks, then into months, then a year. During that time, she kept in touch with her DC job, planning to go back as soon as possible.
HEART IN THE RIGHT PLACE is a welll-written memoir of that year. She writes about her experiences going to see patients with her father as she was growing up. Living in a small, rural community, everyone knew everyone else. Her father was the only doctor around and treated many people who, in a city, would have gone to a specialist instead. (He does refer some patients to specialist after his initial consultation.) His patients (they are never treated as diseases or cases) suffer from a wide variety of illnesses and accidents. Many of them cannot afford to pay for their treatments. All are treated with compassion and respect.
While the patients’ medical situations provide the background for most of the book (the most explicit is Chapter 24 where she witnesses and describes a heart bypass operation. Read about what happens when someone smokes before surgery.), she makes the reader experience the lives of the community from her perspective with warmth, love, and humor.
Her father’s best friend, Fletcher teaches her what it’s like when a doctor can’t save a patient from: “The pitiful truth is that sometimes the best thing, the only thing, we can do for another person is just show up....And that takes guts.”
Among her areas of concentration in DC was nuclear science. When the US government was looking for a place for a nuclear warhead dump, the only place that wanted it was near her home. The single industry in town, a maximum security prison, had closed and the residents saw the dump as a source of revenue and jobs. When people for and against the dump sites from all over the country came to testify before Congress, the dressed in new clothes and brought their families to watch. Sadly, the media wasn’t interested and since there were no cameras present, the senators didn’t stay around either. She ended up running the meeting, giving the people the respect she thought they deserved. As well as showing what makes a politician respond, the chapter has a wonderful explanation of the etymology of the word “testimony” and why women couldn’t testify in court or have legal rights.
Carolyn wrestles about whether she should go back to the high life in DC or stay in Tennessee; what are the advantages and disadvantages of each way of life. Where will she find fulfillment. The woman at the end of the book is not the same person as the one at the beginning.(less)

Carolyn Jourdan, an attorney on Capitol Hill, thought she had it made. But when her mother has a heart attack, she returns home to the Tennessee mountains, where her father is a country doctor and her mother works as his receptionist. Jourdan offers to fill in for her mother until she gets better. But days turn into weeks as she trades her suits for scrubs and finds herself following hazmat regulations for cleaning up bodily fluids; maintaining composure when confronted with a splinter the size of a steak knife; and tending to the loquacious Miss Hiawatha, whose daily doctor visits are never billed. Most important, though, she comes to understand what her caring and patient father means to her close-knit community. With great humor and great tenderness, Heart in the Right Place shows that some of our biggest heroes are the ones living right beside us.

My Review:

This was a beautiful, serene, relaxing memoir and I absolutely adored this story! The characters are real and endearing, each of them carving out a special place in your heart. And what a gorgeous name of this town “Strawberry Plains”, how delicious is that?

Writing about a small community where everyone knows everyone else and a hometown family physician, family run is also what makes this memoir so intriguing. Jourdan writes about her experiences in her father’s medical practice with honesty, integrity, humour, and with a compassionate flair for the people they treat. No big office buildings with opulent furniture and expensive decorating and big medical bills to match. Back to a time when the town Doctor often didn’t charge his patients if he knew they were indigent, and sometimes accepting “other” payments like a day of squirrel watching on the property of a man who wasn’t quite right in his mind. Such a show of respect, compassion, and understanding on the part of Dr. Jourdan was a true showing of his moral beliefs and lessons he never forgot and applied to the very special patients in his practice.

Carolyn Jourdan has written with such vividness that it was an easy slip into the pages to walk amongst the words and feel them, snuggle into them and experience the Great Smoky Mountain area just like the generations of family who have resided there for years and years. Jourdan mentioned penning a sequel to Heart in the Right Place and I certainly hope she continues with it and sees it through to completion. I’ll be first in line to pick it up. I would highly, highly recommend this beautifully written memoir for all ages. This is the type of memoir that will stick with me forever.

Life is rarely easy, and it is never in the easiness that we grow. I liked hearing the stories of the people who passed through her doctor Father's offices, the courage they exhibited and the quirky personalities that they displayed.

The only thing that kept this book from being a five star book (which means a perfect book in my mind) is a couple slower spots about her time in Washington D.C. I really loved this memoir. This person is no one special and in her eyes, was forced to return home to do something far from special yet as she reflects, we are reminded that the special things we accomplish in this life are the little things. Listening, caring, being there. I highly recommend this book!

The author is a graduate of UT-Knoxville and a former U.S. Senate Counsel to the Committee on Environment and Public Works and the Committee on Governmental Affairs (now Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs).

At roughly the halfway point, I was prepared to dimiss the book as a cynical attempt by a well-paid civil servant to cash in on her experience; having finished the story, I highly recommend it. Ms. Jourdan's certainly not the same person by the conclusion, and really seems to care about her community.
Narrator does a terrific job with the accents, so it's an esp great audio experience.

Quotes from Heart in the Right Place

“Inside a barn is a whole universe, with its own time zone and climate and ecosystem, a shadowy world of swirling dust illuminated in tiger stripes by light shining through the cracks between the boards. Old leather tack, lengths of chain, rope, and baling twine dangled from nails and rafters and draped over stall railings. Generations of pocketknives lay lost in the layers of detritus on the floor.” — 2 people liked it
