Watervalley #1
More Things in Heaven and Earth
As an ambitious young doctor with a penchant for research, Luke Bradford never wanted to set up practice in a remote rural town. But to pay back his student loans and to fulfill a promise from his past, he heads for Watervalley, Tennessee–and immediately stumbles into one disaster after another. He expects the people of Watervalley to be simple, but finds his relationships with them complicated, whether he’s interacting with his bossy but devout housekeeper, the attractive schoolteacher he consistently alienates, or the mysterious kid next door who climbs trees while wearing a bike helmet.
When a baffling flu epidemic hits Watervalley, Luke faces his ultimate test. Whether the community embraces him or not, it’s his responsibility to save them, And he’ll soon discover that while living in a small town may not be what he wants, it may be just what he needs.

What a lovely, loving book. Wonderfully drawn characters woven through a story told in the narrator's distinctive, self-effacing voice. It unfolds more than simply being told, so we feel as if we are witnessing it with the narrator. His discovery is our discovery. Those of us who had a Watervalley in our past will feel profoundly homesick for the cadence and care and closeness of small town life; those of you who did not, well, this is what you have missed.

I was lucky enough to snag an advanced readers copy of this novel and though I read a lot (A LOT!!!) this is one of the best books I've read in years. I loved it. It's the book to buy for your mom and best friend for Christmas. Laugh-out-loud funny in some scenes and make-you-ache scenes for balance and heartwarming in the end. Can't say enough about what a wonderful read this is. And no, I'm not related to the author and don't know him in any way.

Loved the book!! It was an easy read based on a small town full of unique characters with entertaining quirks. I can't wait to read what lies ahead for Watervalley.

All I can say about this book and the author is “WOW!”. It is so refreshing to read a story that is wholesome and beautiful. From the first few pages I felt a sense of innocence and great story telling. The book is wholesome and I cannot wait to read the next in his series.
The opening of the book introduces the lead character, Luke Bradford, as he handles his first emergency in his career as the “only doctor in Watervalley”. It was during this scene I knew I would love the book. Jeff High does a fantastic job of portraying a small town life and how a person from a big city feels when they first enter a true small town.
If you are looking for great laughs and a truly heartwarming story then this is the book for you!

Jeff High is a nurse and has a degree in literature, a great combination for a person writing a book about someone in the medical profession. He uses his background admirably in writing More Things In Heaven and Earth. I began the book with trepidation, wary that the first person style would turn me away soon after I began. I have read other writers who have had difficulty writing in first person, which is the reason for my subsequent wariness. However, High is quite successful using first person, and I found the book easy to read and well paced. I read to be entertained and not necessarily for the messages an author my entwine in his words. High has entertained me.

This is a great "feel good" book. It had me hooked after the first chapter. The writing style made me feel like I was watching a movie and the humor in it is great. The character development and story line have me very excited about the future of the main character, Luke Bradford. It's a great read and I highly recommend it!

A nice series about a new doctor setting up a practice in a small town where he does not wish to be, and the lessons he learns about the town, the residents, and himself along the way. A nice, sweet read.

What a pleasant book to dive into. Very entertaining, well written, and truly a pleasure to read.

warm hallmark movie of a book but sub the romance for very mild medical adventures as the main plot line. no comment on scientific credibility of plot but jealous all this guy’s patients are so pro-vaccine.

A young doctor moves to a small town for his first job as the town’s only physician and moves from one challenge/disaster to another. I was interested in seeing a “cozy” type set-up and a coming of age for a young adult from a male author’s POV and from a male protagonist’s POV. Thought it was well meaning and sometimes interesting, but just wasn’t engaging to me.

I was hoping for something akin to the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series, but set in rural Appalachia. Even though my expectations fell a bit short, I still recommend More Things In Heaven and Earth if you're looking for a light mystery set in a small town. The writing is pretty good, if you're not overly concerned about accuracy or plausibility. I questioned a few things which are integral to the story:
• Scotch Whisky (note, no E) can not be distilled, aged or bottled outside Scotland. Whiskey (with an E, because USA) that is distilled, aged and bottled in Kentucky could be moonshine, rye, bourbon, corn or grain. But it will never be Scotch.
• I'm fairly certain Ardbeg has never bottled a 20 year old Scotch. I'm excluding an Ardbeg 1991 Private Bottling (bottled in 2011) since I doubt the person who owned that private cask is the guy in this book.
• 100 year old Scotch pretty much does not exist—because, angel's share.
• Kentucky whiskey (incorrectly called Scotch Whiskey in the book) what was bottled in 1910 and has been sitting in a cave for 100 years, is not 100 year old whiskey. It is only as old as it was when it was bottled, aging in barrels determines age, not how long it has been in a bottle.
• The influenza virus has a lipid envelope, which is quite fragile, especially to humidity and freeze-thaw cycles. It's extremely unlikely to have survived for 100 years in a cave.
• The 1918 flu pandemic was caused by Influenza A H1N1. Direct descendants of the 1918 virus were responsible for the 1957, 1968, and 2009 flu pandemics, as well as seasonal epidemics. Most people have at least partial immunity to the 1918 influenza virus, either directly though antibodies acquired after exposure or through flu vaccination. The flu vaccine is particularly effective against H1N1 strains.
• Is a small town physician really expected to take on the responsibilities of an epidemiologist?
For me, the source for the flu was just too flimsy.

I won this book on Goodreads First Reads Giveaway.
A good novel needs to have certain elements to warrant a 5 star rating.
1. I look for a story that engages me, preferably from that very first page.
2. The setting needs to be described in a way that I can envision.
3. Characters should have purpose and be developed enough for me to be invested in them.
4. The book must make me want to return to it.
I have read many books that meet my five stare criteria, but few let me know they are five star from beginning to end. More Things in Heaven and Earth by Jeff High is one of the rare reads that met my five star criteria from page one. The story is of a new doctor that takes a job in rural Tennessee, mostly he thinks, to help pay for the school debt he incurred getting his MD. Written in first person, not my favorite, I was a bit leery . . . at least for a second. In fact, the first person narrative allowed me to feel the character’s pain and joy.
This book is written with humor. It is rare for a book to have me laughing and crying. It is refreshing to read a book that has the ability to pull out my emotions consistently from the beginning to the end. Besides Dr. Luke Bradford, the reader is treated to many well developed characters from the small town of Watervalley, TN. Carefully, High has crafted a community. His story and characters are like a jigsaw puzzle that reveals more about each character as their part of the puzzle becomes more clear.
The nicest thing about Jeff High is that he is well qualified to write this story. He has a degree in nursing and one in literature. He grew up in rural Tennessee and it is this background that enriches the entire story. It is always wonderful to get to read a first novel of this caliber. I am happy to give this book a five-star +. Jon Hasseler fans are going to love Jeff High.
I am ready to return to Watervalley and learn more about this lovely town and its people. More Things in Heaven and Earth is the first of a series of which I am anxious to explore.

This book made me laugh out loud! It's a poignant, fish-out-of-water story. The writing is beautiful!

Based on a comparison between this book and the Mitford books (my all-time favorites), I eagerly ordered this book and then devoured it in a couple of days. I loved the character development, and I look forward to further relationships between Luke and the people of Watervalley. I did not know that this town exists, but my Columbia, Tennessee, friends assure me it does. I will be recommending Jeff High's stories to my book club and all my friends!

A very quick read about a young doctor who chooses to begin his career in a small town. Dealing with loneliness he befriends a man who lives on a hill overlooking the town who seems to have a grudge about the town folk. As the story unfolds, Luke needs to deal with a flue epidemic and feels very alone. He realizes that the people from the town are not as simple as they seem and hold some secrets.

Initial thoughts: Overall, I think the story was light on plot. I enjoyed the descriptions of the various settings, but I think the author relied on them too much. I wish he had fleshed out his story more. I liked the story and can see why it reminds some readers of All Creatures Great and Small. I want to read the next book in the series to see if the author adds depth to the story. If he does, I can see this as a series I will continue to read. I loved the setting in East Tennessee. It is a beautiful area. I hope the next book will unfold more of Luke's story as we only learned the basics about his history in the first book.

I just finished reading the 'Uncorrected Proofs for Limited Distribution' paperback of this book - final version due out in Oct. 2013. I normally read only suspense, drama, & similar genres, but this book totally took me for a loop - and a pleasant one at that.
I can't remember ever enjoying a book so thoroughly. The mixed emotions of laughter & sadness combined to form an excellent tale of small-town America. If anyone currently living in a large city was considering moving to a small rural town, this book is a must-read. They may just start packing a bit faster.
Luke Bradford just finished his medical residency in Nashville & accepted the challenge of being the sole physician in the nearby town of Watervalley - the town having been without a doctor for 3 years. Luke's father was also a physician in a small town before his demise and recommended to his son that he do likewise. There were also financial benefits related to his school loan if he accepted the job.
Although he's able to stay on top of the challenges involved with running the town's only medical clinic, he sorely misses city life. He also feels the town hasn't really accepted him, because of an embarrassing incident which occurred upon his arrival, which will keep the reader in stitches. He then feels he has to prove himself worthy.
The city gives him a home to live in & a black housekeeper, Connie. Though she lives elsewhere, she also prepares his meals. With her unique personality, she becomes his confidant. He adopts a stray dog for companionship. His single status marks him as a target for eligible females, though the one he's interested in couldn't care less.
When an unusual flu epidemic hits the town with dozens of patients coming to him even though they've already had flu shots, he spends an inordinate amount of time trying to find the cause.
Don't let the wordy first chapter give you reason to set the book down. The rest of the book makes up for it immensely & hopefully that isn't changed in the final version.

Author Jeff High has created a great town setting in Watervalley. Young doctor Luke Bradford accepts a job in this rural town in part to pay off his student loans. He has never wanted to be a permanent fixture in small town life, and he isn't sure how long he will stay in Watervalley, especially after he gets off to a rocky start. Jeff High populates his town with interesting characters. I particularly liked Dr. Bradford's housekeeper, Connie Thompson. This isn't a spoiler since it is on the back of the book, but a flu epidemic hits the town. I found the resolution of that particular plot element to be a little anti-climatic, but this intro to High's series is more about this town and the people than about medicine. Bradford is a well-written character. This is an entertaining read along the lines of Jan Karon's Mitford books and Phillip Gulley's series set in Harmony.

More Things In Heaven and Earth: A Novel of Watervalley is the first in a new series by up and coming writer Jeff High. Set in a small town in Tennessee, the story is an inspiring and uplifting read that will have you laughing one moment and moved to tears the next.
This contemporary novel follows a newly minted doctor, Luke Bradford, on his first assignment far from the big city university where he graduated at the top of his class. More interested in research than actual fieldwork, Luke reluctantly takes a three year job as doctor of the small town of Watervalley in exchange for debt forgiveness of his student loans. Luke’s recounting of his arrival in town is a hilarious anecdote that leaves him embarrassed and wondering how soon the town will send him packing.
Slowly, Luke settles into the routine life of small town America and begins discovering the myriad characters, with their multiple foibles and unshakable fortitude, that inhabit his small universe. From the oldest inhabitant to the youngest, Luke comes into contact with people that change his perspective of the world and his place in it.
Beset by a mysterious flu that strikes the town, Luke struggles to find answers while dealing with loneliness, acceptance, and learning to follow his heart. By the end of the last chapter, you too will be rooting for Luke and all of the people in Watervalley.
Although the copy I received was an uncorrected proof meant for limited distribution, the original trade paperback is due out in October. Already I am looking forward to the next book in the series and following Luke Bradford’s foray into small town medical practice.

I enjoyed this book which is the first in a series called Watervalley. It takes place in Tennessee in this small town that doesn't have a doctor. Luke Bradford has just graduated from Medical school and as a way of paying off his sizable debt has agreed to go to a remote small town called Watervalley. He will be their only doctor. He felt like he would be a permanent visitor. He slowly comes to know the people of the town as everyone comes to visit the doctor at his office. The character I enjoyed the most was Connie Thompson. She is the housekeeper. She is funny and smart. Luke falls for s woman, named Christine Chambers who can't stand him for most of the book. Her character is kind of irksome to me. I think this is why I am giving the book 4 stars. I don't like way they interact. Or maybe it's the way Luke describes her - too corny and worshipful - yuk. But I enjoyed the setting so much and smorgasbord of characters is good. I will be reading the next 2 books in the series so I hope these characters are more fleshed out.

This was a lovely southern novel that left me wanting for more. The presence of history, humor, love, the classics and small-town mystery and charm provides ample depth and dimension that made this book difficult to put down.
I enjoyed following the ups and downs of the protagonist as he battled with decisions of right vs. wrong, heart vs. mind. We all have internal struggles of making appropriate choices in life that will deem us successful in others eyes, when, in truth, we must only succeed for ourselves and our own well being.
The story of Watervalley and its community is heart-warming. To step away from the fast-paced, often cynical world we live in and explore the fellowship of this southern town was refreshing.
I look forward to reading the next book in this series and once again visiting the picturesque town of Watervalley.

3.5 stars.
I won this book as a giveaway from Goodreads. I loved how this novel starts out with a prelude and ends with a postlude. It made it seem to flow more.
I really liked the storyline of this book. I’m looking forward to reading the other books in the series. A very heartwarming story about a doctor who’s just graduated med school, moves to take a position in a very small town in Tennessee. He runs into problems, from not fitting in, to people dying.
The only thing I didn’t like about this book was that it swore or took the name of Deity in vain 48 times, that I can count. Ok, I know it’s a southern novel, so I thought it might swear some times, but not that many. But it’s the only thing that I didn’t like about this novel. Other than that, the language Jeff High used was very well crafted and very beautiful. It was a good read, other than the language.

A great read . A young Dr comes to a clinic in Tenn to care for the people and earn money to pay off his student loans. . He would rather be in a big city working in research. After the first few days of embarrasment and near disasters, he finally settles in but still feels like an outsider. I don't want to tell the whole story, but lets say there are many surprises. Some I guessed, but others that were not. .The author makes you wan to keep reading. The many characters are real and very believable.
I would recommend this book everyone who wants to read a sweet--sometimes funny and sometimes tragic story. I loved every page of it.
I forgot to say that I won this book on Goodreads and would like to thank the author for giving me the chance to read it and can't wait to read his next book.

This book was so refreshing, and it was a wonderful time in Watervalley. The characters come alive in this book, and each one is an integral part of the story. You can take something from each character and apply it to life in general, and I believe you will see yourself, family and/or friends in each character. The story is one of which I truly enjoyed, and I love to read of small town life in general - the nuances of relationships & life exude courage, faith, love & strength throughout the book. I am looking forward to book 2 coming out in October, and then in turn books 3 & 4. I had the awesome privilege to meet the author on Saturday, May 31, 2014 (as well as his lovely wife Dawn). I can say, with all honesty, he is the genuine article. He gave an wonderful talk to the group, and read passages from the book - I could have listened to him a lot longer.

I loved this book! It is full of depth and personal insight into life, people, and relationships in small town USA, and a tender reminder that we all really want and need the same things, acceptance, love, and something meaningful to do with our lives. It is a refreshing and thoughtful journey to a place hard to find in this crazy world. Can I move to Watervalley? Can't wait for the next in the series!

This is a wonderful book about a new doctor establishing himself in a small town in TN. It captured my attention right away, had good character development, and very descriptive writing. I could easily visualize the setting and the characters in my mind's eye. I wasn't expecting to like the book because it was very different from what I usually read and was going to return it to the library unread. What a huge mistake that would have been!
September 29, 2015
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. It is a good story about a new doctor in a small southern town. While Luke Bradford, MD, is a good main character, it's all the other people in the town that make the novel great. Each one of then has their quirks and Luke ends up dealing with them. I am glad this is only the first in a series because I am not ready to be done with Watervalley, Tennessee.

I won this book through Goodreads. This story of young doctor, Luke Bradford, who sets up his first practice in Watervalley, a small Tennessee town, had me smiling from beginning to end. I loved the relationship between him and his housekeeper, Connie. Connie made me laugh :)
I found this book to be delightful, and am very glad I had the pleasure to read it. I highly recommend it!

What a lovely story of rural life in a small, Tennessee town! This book has great characters and leaves you feeling as if you know them. I am looking forward to the next one. The author, Jeff High, is a friend of mine, and I grew up very near the real town of "Water Valley". All of that aside, I recommend this book. Great first novel, Jeff!
