Abraham Verghese

The Tennis Partner

When his marriage unravels, physician Abraham Verghese relocates to Texas to work in a county hospital and make a fresh start. While there he meets David Smith, a recovering drug addict and medical student. Abraham and David start a tennis ritual through which they confront and work off their inhibitions while finding mutual security in a sport they both enjoy. But when David’s addictions re-emerge, almost everything Verghese has come to trust and believe in is threatened.
