I LOVE #historicalfiction one of my top 5 genre's. And this book by #katequinn is amazing. I lovee the angle of bringing the house in as an entity, I love the collection of boarders and my goodness #gracemarch is just amazing. #arlene I did feel bad for, her desperation made her a sad character.

A doctor has been serving one of Baltimore’s poorest neighborhoods for decades — and if his patients can’t pay, that’s OK with him.

So when he was diagnosed with cancer, his community rallied to raise $100,000 for his treatments.

For decades, a doctor refused to charge patients who couldn't pay. When he couldn't pay, his patients came to his aid.

When Dr. Michael Zollicoffer was diagnosed with two types of cancer, his patients started a crowdfunding campaign that raised more than $100,000.

The Smith family owns 600 acres of land, which has been passed down since the 1920s. A superior court judge recently ruled that a railroad company could seize their property.

They are now appealing the decision to the Georgia Supreme Court.
