"A story of patients and staff, family, and friends who are part of a heart clinic in a community caught between the old Ireland and the new. Dr. Clara Casey agrees to take on the thankless task of establishing a clinic with little funding for one year. She is able to make the clinic a success, but now Clark must decide whether or not to leave a place where lives are saved, courage is rewarded, and humor and optimism triumph over greed and self pity." -- Book cover.
