Ilustration To Books Butterfly Weed (Stay More #7)
This is the life story of the colorful physician of Harington’s acclaimed Stay More novels, Doc Swain: how he becomes a physician without benefit of medical school education, how he winds up as a high-school teacher of hygiene and enamored of a pretty student, how his love for her ultimately leads him to face some heartbreaking choices. Bawdy, rich in language and detail, and very funny.Rating Regarding Books Butterfly Weed (Stay More #7)

A good Harrington starter. Harrington has more humor in his little finger than most have in their entire arm. He transfers his humor and personality to the page. His latest comes out in May 2008...more from the town of Stay More, where most of his novels take place. You get to know an entire community when you digest one of his books.I read this some time ago and never took it off my to read list. Hmmm, I remember that I enjoyed it enough at the time, but the book did not live within me like a really good book does.
Butterfly Weed takes the form of a novelist speaking with a retired folklorist at his nursing home. The folklorist stumbled into Stay More with typhoid and was nursed back to health by Doc Swain. Doc Swain was cut from the womb of his mother by his biological father who killed his parents and gave the baby to reclusive healer in payment for learning the trade of healing from the recluse. The recounts the story of Doc Swain a doctor taught by his adoptive father in their remote cave. Without

That was just lot of fun! A great book indeed!
I never tire of this author.
Another beautiful story from Donald Harington. This time he tells the story of Doc Swain, one of my favourite Stay Morons. I was surprised to learn after reading it that the character Vance who narrates the story to Harington in the book (yes, it is meta) was a real-life folklorist.
