Description
In this compelling third part of their life story, Lee Walters, MD, and his wife, Cara, along with their triplet daughters, set out from Scottsdale, Arizona, to Pennsylvania, seeking a slower-paced life. It seems like they've found paradise, with Lee enjoying his work and an opportunity opening up for them to build their dream home on top of a mountain.
However, numerous professional conflicts as well as ongoing issues with their aging parents present all sorts of unanticipated hurdles. Seeking a change, Lee accepts what appears to be a promising job offer in his childhood home of Ridgewood, New Jersey, only to encounter even greater turmoil. Lee's professional status is threatened by a bipolar associate and a surprise offer of help comes from an unexpected source- a patient named Luigi who is rumored to be a Mafia boss. Their only other alternative is likely an ugly legal battle. Which way will they turn?
Through it all, Lee continues to serve his patients, investigating and solving all sorts of medical mysteries. Meanwhile, Lee and Cara's family bonds strengthen, proving that love and perseverance can overcome virtually any obstacle.
