Heart in the Right Place: A Memoir Audiobook

" Loved this memoir of a big city lawyer who returns to the mountains of Tennessee to work with her small town Dr. father. Great writer tells the adventures of her working in her father's office and the shifting of her priorities. "

" For anyone who ever stops and wonders whether they're on the "right" path, even when it feels like a blessing and a great journey...this is a pleasant and relatable read. "

" Loved this picture of East Tennessee and the people who live there. A great story about a woman who leaves home only to find that it hasn't left her. Heartwarming and full of laughter. "

" I really enjoyed reading this book. It is about the daughter of a small town doctor and family and community obligations. Some very funny moments. Caution: some swearing. "

" I very much enjoyed this read. Carolyn Jourdan writes with wit and humor that kept me smiling throughout. She balances her memoir with a meaningful message from the quirky, and sometimes eccentric people who she encounters through work in a rural eastern Tennessee medical clinic, giving her cause to re-examine her priorities and purpose. "

" Some people don't learn what is important in life until later. Well done. I picked it out because my father was a general practitioner when he was alive. He has a few of the same experiences in the book. "

" Couldn't put it down. I was lured into caring about these people and more than once had to reach for the kleenex. "

" This is true story, I really liked it. She was a big-wig in Washington and moved back to a small town to help her parents and she ended up staying there. A lot of characters and character. Really weird people. "

" A sweet book about real people. I loved Carolyn's way with words and how accurately she expressed being torn between two parts of herself. If you enjoy uplifting memoirs then this is a book worth reading. "

" Based on true stories. If you liked James Herriot, you'll probably like this book too. "

" I thought this was an easy read but didn't love the book but I'm not sure why. It just seemed like it was aimless rambling without a destination. I did like the moral of the story at the end but it just seemed like it needed more of something. I'm just not sure how to articulate it. "

" Very good book - woman gives up her fast paced life, successful by most standards, to return to rural Tennessee to help her father in his medical practice after her mother suffers a heart attack. "

" This was a fun book. Many colorful characters and an interesting story line. The evolution of the main character could have been more detailed. "

" This book is really funny to read, but it gets a little boring at the end... It is still worth reading though. "

" This book was sweet and funny and sad at the same time. A true southerner can appreciate the eccentricities of the people and there is a true appreciation of doctors like Carolyn's father. "

" Hilarious! This in one of the best memoir's I've read. I'm not usually fan of memoirs, but Carolyn Jourdan did her with humor and a down-to-earth manner that I enjoyed. "

" Pretty good, along the lines of Fannie Flagg. "

" I loved this book. It's set in the south and takes place in a medical setting. Two things I can relate with. This biographical story is touching and funny and entertaining. "

" Not the best book in the world- but okay. "

" I love her writing - I can't wait until her other two books come out. "

" Very charming. If you like Heather Lende, you'll like this. "

" Wonderful, characters are straightforward and charming. Hard to put down, and sorry to see it end! "

" I liked this one a lot. Great descriptions of the people in the poor area her parents serve, while still showing our common humanity. "

" Hilarious! This in one of the best memoir's I've read. I'm not usually fan of memoirs, but Carolyn Jourdan did her with humor and a down-to-earth manner that I enjoyed. "

" 3 and a half stars. i really enjoyed this, but couldn't quite connect with the author/narrator. "

" Lots of great quotes and thoughts; enjoyed the authors style of writing. She had a dry sense of humor and a unique way of observing others. I liked it - made for a great discussion at book club. "

" Similar feel to James Herriot's classics. Light, funny, good moral. (ok, so I might have skipped the middle to finish in time for club). "

" Loved this book. At times it dragged a little, but it was very moving. Too bad the life changing feeling doesn't stay with me for long... "

" This is a beautifully written book about a daughter coming home to help her parents. She leaves a great job to help her dad in a doctor's office. Her experiences are funny, wild, sweet and sometimes very hard to believe. I enjoyed reading the book and learning of her life. "

" I found myself wanting to know more about the characters until I realized it was a memoir, not a novel. Once I got that little detail figured out, it was much better. :O) "

" A feel good story, witty, easy read. "

" This was a fun book. Many colorful characters and an interesting story line. The evolution of the main character could have been more detailed. "

" I loved this book-it is autobiographical which makes it so wonderful. Set in a small country town in the south, it is charming. "
