Historical
The New York Times bestselling author of Wench
returns to the Civil War era to explore the next chapter of
history—the trauma of the War and the end of slavery—in this
powerful story of love and healing about three people who
struggle to overcome the pain of the past and define their
own future. The Civil War has ended, and Madge, Sadie,
and Hemp have each come to Chicago in search of a new
life. Born with magical hands, Madge has the power to
discern others’ suffering, but she cannot heal her own
damaged heart. To mend herself and help those in need, she
must return to Tennessee to face the women healers who
rejected her as a child. Sadie can commune with the
dead, but until she makes peace with her father, she, too,
cannot fully engage her gift. Searching for his
missing family, Hemp arrives in this northern city that
shimmers with possibility. But redemption cannot be possible
until he is reunited with those taken from him. In the
bitter aftermath of a terrible, bloody war, as a divided
nation tries to come together once again, Madge, Sadie, and
Hemp will be caught up in a desperate, unexpected battle for
survival in a community desperate to lay the pain of the
past to rest. Beautiful in its historical atmosphere
and emotional depth, Balm is a stirring novel of
love, loss, hope, and reconciliation set during one of the
most critical periods in American history.
