Memphis & Me: A Novel

From Diane Moody, author of the bestselling Of Windmills and War

In the summer of 1977, Shelby Colter moved back to Memphis, Tennessee, hoping to make a fresh start after breaking off her engagement. Working as a patient representative hostess at Baptist Memorial Hospital-the world's largest private hospital-she's thrilled with her new job, assisting patients with their non-medical needs. She has to laugh at her colorful co-workers who constantly chat about Elvis-sightings. After all, Baptist was 'Elvis's hospital.'

Shelby hits the ground running, taking care of her patients, getting to know her new friends, and bumping into . . . Dr. Tucker Thompson? Who knew that annoying kid who used to hang out with her big brother was now a resident at BMH? Little Chubby Tucker-a compassionate, handsome doctor?

As the summer rolls along, three people she loves face life-threatening situations, drawing Shelby back to her faith. And then one night, in a hospital prayer room, she pours out her heart to a most unexpected visitor.
