About the Author
Dr. Martin E. Jones is a many-talented person. He was an outstanding general practitioner, and is very civic-minded, as were his parents who helped make Granite Falls, N.C. what it is today. His great love is his wife Dorothy and their children and grandchildren. Another love is his writing, and we all thank him for sharing some of his words with us.John McDonaldRetired educator

A touching, funny, insightful account of the human condition played out against the practice of a small doctor and his patients. A way of life that's passing from the American landscape kept alive by Dr. Jones with colorful, witty writing and a real compassionate touch.
