| Abstract |
"Set in Appalachia, the story follows four generations in the family of Dr. Arthur Lee Jones, whose destinies are interwoven with the planning, building, and operation of Ashe Memorial Hospital. This traces the evolution of community healthcare from the days of folk remedies and midwives to horseback doctors and hospitals to the technological advances and outreach of today"-- Provided by publisher. |
