Carroll James

And Nothing but the Tooth (eBook, ePUB)

Still More Humorous (and Sometimes Touching) Tales from a Globe-Trotting Dentist's Storied Life

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Whether attending decidedly awkward dinner parties or hayseed weddings complete with karaoke and inebriated attendants, or risking life and limb to aid the impoverished in Belize and Peru (with near-drastic results of misspoken Spanish), there's a story for everyone in this third installment of Dr. Carroll James's series of rollicking and touching memoirs.

And Nothing but the Tooth offers up a continuation of bizarre episodes during Dr. James's forty-plus years of dental practice-including perhaps the worst hires in employment history. On the personal side, we catch a glimpse of some questionable family lineage, a hilarious first ski trip, amateur sheep herding, and a soggy camping trip sure to test a marriage. As always, we get to tag along with young Carroll as he gets into summer mischief with his cousins at his grandparents' home in the backwoods of Nealy Ridge, VA, this time toying with a treasure chest of found explosives and almost-but not quite-getting away with it.

Autorenporträt

Dr. Carroll James is the author of I Swear to Tell the Tooth and The Whole Tooth, and is a graduate of Gettysburg College, receiving his doctorate from the Farleigh-Dickenson University College of Dentistry in 1975. For two years, he practiced as an Associate in Rockville, MD, before establishing a private practice near Bethesda. As a child, Dr. James spent summers at his maternal grandparents' primitive home in the rugged Appalachian heartland of southwest Virginia. This experience forged his passion for serving impoverished peoples throughout the far reaches of the world. Blessed with three children and five live-wire grandchildren, Carroll and his wife, Kate, are now happily retired.
