Barry Laverty, M.B., can barely find the village of Ballybucklebo on a map when he first sets out to seek gainful employment there, but already he knows that there is nowhere he would rather live than in the emerald hills and dales of Northern Ireland. The proud owner of a spanking-new medical degree and little else in the way of worldly possessions, Barry jumps at the chance to secure a position as an assistant in a small rural practice. At least until he meets Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly.

Mary MacLeod's mother died in childbirth when Mary was five, an event that marked for the child a "before time" - a lost joyful time - and after. She was shunted from one relative to another while her father coped with his grief. He married again only nine months later, perhaps to have a mother for his child, but her new mum, harsh and withholding of her love, quickly exerted complete control over her thoughts and deeds, with her father oblivious.

For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Awesome read
Dr. Tom Smith is a fantastic story teller. I’m so glad that Audible is carrying his books. There are 3 books; read them in order so you understand the progression of his practice and his family life.
The stories are true, heartwarming, and uplifting.
The books would be great for listening together in the car with your family.
The author is also the narrator of his stories; and he does a fantastic job. He changes his voice for the different characters. The Scottish brogue is delightful.
In order not to wait for my next credit, I would just purchase them, they are at a reasonable price.
For a relaxing, G rated read this is great. I hope he comes out with more books about himself and his practice. He does have some medical information booklets made for patients to understand their conditions better. I have not investigated those yet. But he does give sound medical advice and care throughout his writings. Thank you Dr. Tom Smith; keep on writing.

Absolutely Wonderful!
If you purchase this book you will be doing yourself a service!!!
This third book in the series was even better than the other two. I loved it so much I stayed up late at night and woke up early to listen.
The experiences he writes about have the very intentional heavy human feel of an excellent writer. It is effortless to laugh heartily at the enjoyable stories or to empathize with the people caught in dreadful situations. I can't believe all these stories are a part of one person's life! He really seems to have lived life until it was bursting at the seams. I'm so greatful that Audible suggested this series to me when I was having such a hard time. I will certainly try to find more of his work!

INCREDIBLE - AWESOME STORIES!!!!
My husband and I have listened to all 3 of Dr Tom Smith’s books on Audible. They are fascinating, fun and a very informative & enlightening view into the life of a Physician practicing in Scotland and around the world! We would highly recommend them!!! Of course it doesn’t hurt that our heritage is Ulster Scot and we’ve had the privilege to visit Scotland and the North Of Ireland, commonly known as Northern Ireland several times. We both love “the old country and considered the possibility of returning there to live from our home in the USA, had it not been for leaving our family we probably would have given it a go!!!
