A Short Review of Heart in the Right Place,by Carolyn Jourdan
Heart in the Right Place by Carolyn Jourdan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Yes, a beautiful and rich memoir with an old theme: can the exile come home? As the book jacket asks, "How does a smart, ambitious female attorney living a glamorous life in Washington, DC, wind up in rural Tennessee, manning the desk of a small town doctor's office?"
Carolyn Jourdan comes hope to help out her father, after her mother's heart attack. She thinks it is going to be for a week. A week becomes weeks become months, then a year and she has to decide who she is and where she belongs.
A very funny book, as her father's patients are quirky and eccentric and just plain odd. A sad book, as patients who are friends die. A thoughtful book: where is the right place for heart?
