“An honest and heartfelt journey. I could relate to many of his experiences, and the story leads you to an outstanding place in life. A truly enjoyable read.”
— Dennis Marlin, Amazon Review
One Pocket is such a fun and well-written book. As a fellow physician, I could easily relate to Dr. Rucker’s experiences through medical school, residency, and his professional journey. I especially enjoyed reading about the influence of his mother and grandfather, whose wisdom and guidance clearly shaped his life. The book is filled with meaningful details, humor, and reflection, and I found myself appreciating even more on a second reading.”
