About this product
Product Information
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.

Reviews
"Heart in the Right Place provided laugh out loud humor to me while on the treadmill (although too much laughing while running can be dangerous ... ) ... I have been recommending this book to friends telling them some of the humorous anecdotes within, but it is the deeper meaning ... that will keep this story in my memory." -Tina Ristau, Des Moines Register, "This is a soul-touching memoir filled with memorable Southern characters, plus plenty of country humor, but mostly a memoir about character-the transformative power of selfless acts in forgotten places far from the spotlight." -John Marshall, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, "[A]n absolute delight of a book: warm, funny and written with great heart and understanding." -Howard Shirley, BookPage, Jourdan's dispatches from the reception desk make for a stirring, beautiful memoir that is alternately hilarous and heartbreaking, and ultimately a triumph., "Jourdan's tone is heartfelt without being preachy and frequently funny without being trite. Readers struggling to reconcile their practices with their beliefs will find Jourdan's memoir to be as much a blueprint for change as it is a satisfying recollection of one person's journey to fulfillment." -L. Elisabeth Beattie, Louisville Courier Journal, Jourdan's tone is heartfelt without being preachy and frequently funny without being trite. Readers struggling to reconcile their practices with their beliefs will find Jourdan's memoir to be as much a blueprint for change as it is a satisfying recollection of one person's journey to fulfillment., "[A]n absolute delight of a book: warm, funny and written with great heart and understanding." --Howard Shirley, BookPage, A beautiful memoir...Making a difference can be as simple as getting up in the morning and helping those around you.
