My Own Country: A Doctor's Story by Abraham Verghese

5.0

What a rollercoaster ride! An amazing look at the early years of the AIDS crisis in rural Tennessee through the eyes of the only infectious disease specialist in the region. Laughs, tears, and eye opening insights from a sensitive, caring physician pushed to his limits. I read this for a book club and it was a unanimous hit.
