SynopsisBarry Laverty, M.B., is looking forward to his first Christmas in the cozy village of Ballybucklebo, at least until he learns that his sweetheart, Patricia, might not be coming home for the holidays. That unhappy prospect dampens his spirits somewhat, but Barry has little time to dwell on his romantic disappointments. Christmas may be drawing nigh, but there is little peace to be found on earth, especially for a young doctor plying his trade in the emerald hills and glens of rural Ireland. Along with his senior partner, Doctor Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly, Barry has his hands full dealing with seasonal coughs and colds, as well as the occasional medical emergency. To add to the doctors' worries, competition arrives in the form of a patient-poaching new physician whose quackery threatens the health and well-being of the good people of Ballybucklebo. Can one territory support three hungry doctors? Barry has his doubts. But the wintry days and nights are not without a few tidings of comfort and joy. Between their hectic medical practice, Rugby Club parties, and the kiddies Christmas Pageant, the two doctors still find time to play Santa Claus to a struggling single mother with a sick child and not enough money in the bank. Snow is rare in Ulster, and so are miracles, but that doesn't mean they never happen. . . ., Barry Laverty, M.B., is looking forward to his first Christmas in the cozy village of Ballybucklebo, at least until he learns that his sweetheart, Patricia, might not be coming home for the holidays.

Language soooo unnecessary
I had really looked forward to reading this series. The story line and characters are interesting. But the foul... I might add VERY foul language just made it unreadable for me. And sooo unnecessary. Doesn't add anything to the story. Just tasteless.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Uplifting story line you won't want to put the book down.
This is a book you can get so involved with that the characters come to life with every chapter you read. I could feel the bitter cold of a clear winter evening , the aroma of the warm kitchen as I entered it made my mouth water for all the Christmas baking. It will make you long for a time in the past.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
