Publisher's Description
Welcome to Bryson City, a small town tucked away in a fold of North Carolina's Smoky Mountains. The scenery is breathtaking, the home cooking can't be beat, the Maroon Devils football team is the pride of the town, and you won't find better steelhead fishing anywhere. But the best part is the people you're about to meet in the pages of Bryson City Seasons. In this joyous sequel to his bestselling Bryson City Tales, Dr. Walt Larimore whisks you along on a journey through the seasons of a Bryson City year. On the way, you'll encounter crusty mountain men, warmhearted townspeople, peppery medical personalities, and the hallmarks of a simpler, more wholesome way of life. Culled from the author's experiences as a young doctor settling into rural medical practice, these captivating stories are a celebration of this richly textured miracle called life. "The whole book is delightful. My only criticism: there wasn't enough of it!" Margaret Brand, MD, co-laborer with Dr. Paul Brand in leprosy work in India

“As I read Walt Larimore’s Bryson City Seasons, I was transported to that Smoky Mountain community. The folks he loved and served, the colleagues he worked with, the situations he dealt with—some funny, some sad—were all so real. The whole book is delightful and very readable. My only criticism: there wasn’t enough of it!”
“I love to hear Walt’s stories. He’s kept me entertained for years with tales from his life in the Smokies. Some of them are even true. I learn something from all of them.”
“Another charming winner. At times medically messy (do you really want to follow the coroner into the woods?), at times soaring and suspenseful, this second-year sequel exposes the triumphs and tragedies of medical practice in the Smoky Mountains. Hide yourself in the medical bag of this Carolina physician for a bumpy roller-coaster ride to see why small-town medicine is so full of unexpected risks and rewards.”
“The Doc knows exactly what we need—an easy and enjoyable yet empowering memoir. Walt takes us to that Smoky Mountain hideaway town in our hearts—to teach us, bless us, and entertain us. Get yourself a good cup of dark roast, ease back into your favorite rocker or Lazy Boy, and start reading! Dr. Dennis “The Swan” Swanberg, speaker, author, TV host, humorist I feel strongly that life is too short for me to read books that fail to move me deeply or take me to places I’ve never been. Bryson City Seasons succeeds wonderfully on both counts.”
