About

COMING EARLY 2027: the second edition, Venom and Valor: White House Physician Associate Recovers from the Amazon Near Death Experience.

Named the Best Leadership and Resilience Book in America of 2025 by Best of Best Review.

From a childhood marked by poverty and an alcoholic father to the White House and the Amazon, this memoir shows what resilience, hard work, and the strength of family really look like under pressure. Dr. James Jones, a former White House Physician Assistant and now a Physician Associate, tells the story of a man shaped by adversity into a husband, father, grandfather, and leader who found his purpose in service and sacrifice, with the love and support of an extraordinary wife.

If you lead people, care for patients, or are fighting to rebuild after hardship, this is a story of what it takes to endure and to serve.
