I thoroughly enjoyed A Healing Touch. What a beautiful story. I do find Amish culture fascinating and Suzanne Woods Fisher does a great job of drip feeding the details into the plot. There were several storylines in this book with a marriage on the rocks, a life paused by grief and another stifled by expectation.

Cleverly, all three plots intersect at different places with the Dok and her husband at the center of everything. Dok and her husband Matt have long focused on their careers and not their relationship. But a newborn baby left on her clinic doorstep changes everything for them. Then there’s Bree who has the double blow of being widowed and diagnosed with cancer. A man from her distant past steps in but both need to find different types of healing to allow a new future to be revealed. For Bree, much of the work comes around an Amish table.

And then there’s Dok’s assistant who feels called to be an EMT, but no one from her church has ever done such a thing. A hypochondriac mother doesn’t help. But a handsome Amish EMT from another district could hold the key. Between the clever stories, the Amish details and the beauty of the different resolutions, this is a lovely book. I wish the author had taken a little more time with the ending, but that’s my only complaint. And wanting more isn’t really a bad complaint at all!

I received a copy of A Healing Touch from the publisher via NetGalley, the opinions are my own.
