Book excerpt: A product of old money and a brilliant heart surgeon, Henry McLaughlan is condescending and pretentious, with a strong need for approval and a reputation for womanizing. Dark secrets from his youth contribute to his atheism, and Henry's medical skill alone has become his saving grace and the heart of his identity. Henry falls in love with Theresa Tabor, a widow and mother of two young children. "You're white water rafting and I'm a deep water port," Theresa jokes as they begin to work out their differences. Through her example and uncompromising confrontations, Henry gradually transcends past misery to yield his intrinsic decency and recover his faith in God. Unapologetic about her blue-collar, Catholic roots, Theresa marries Henry, then struggles with childbearing, a devastating accident, and his powerful family influences. A COUNTRY PLACE is a contemporary redemption story, and a tribute to the enduring bonds of love and family.
