A terrific tale with the essence of a classic! A sister's love for an ailing brother brings her back home, putting her own career on hold, until her brother heals. Medicine in 1815, England was on the edge of discoveries, yet not all healers shared the same code of ethics.

âHope is a precious gift.â
This author creates great characters, worthy of a Dickens tale, adding in faith and hope to counter the darker elements of the plot. Cameos of historical figures lend authenticity and give it the feel of a classic. Mystery and a bit of romance round out the story, and an edge of danger kept it intriguing. The dialogue includes brief discussions of faith and spiritual struggles, leading to personal redemption. It was particularly inspiring coming from Colin who had suffered so much.
âTrust must ultimately rest on God.â

Recommend to readers who enjoy a gothic-type tale with inspiration, mystery and a bit of romance. A thoroughly enjoyable read!
