Memoir of black American doctor Damon Tweedy about his experiences with racism and prejudice in the medical field.

When World War II ended, Morris Gibson, a young doctor, started a practice in a bombed-out shell of a house in Yorkshire, England. Thus began a wonderful association that lasted decades - and that is lovingly described in this funny, sad, and always charming book.

The lives of three people come together in a small English town as Detective Chief Inspector Louise Monroe investigates the disappearance of a well-known doctor.

As all these lives and histories intersect, and past mistakes and current misfortunes collide, an investigation ensues that will call into question the very essence of truth.
