Rachel Dunne left Ireland in order to escape the aftermath
following a horrible accusation of murder. While Rachel was
working
as healer, a young girl perished under her care. The girl's
family attempted to prosecute Rachel for murder, but
Rachel was acquitted. Her acquittal did little to remove the
tarnish of her reputation as a healer. Dubbed a murderer,
Rachel had no choice but to leave her peaceful home in
Ireland for the bustling life in London.
Rachel arrives in London ready to join the household of
James Edmunds. Thanks to the recommendation of a wealthy
cousin, Rachel was able to obtain a temporary position as an
assistant with a young and handsome physician, who will soon
be leaving his practice to pursue life as farmer. Although
Rachel is instantly drawn to James' gentleness, she fears
she will never be able to escape the permanent taint on her
reputation. When Dr. Edmunds attempts to lure Rachel into
becoming his medical assistant, Rachel's nightmares of the
child who was lost under her care resurface. However, when
a series of accidents and illnesses occur in the home of
James Edmunds, Rachel cannot deny her abilities as a healer.
James Edmunds has never reconciled himself to the loss of
his wife, Mariah, who died shortly after childbirth.
Although James's good looks have won him the heart of the
lovely Miss Castleton, James' heart remains forever wedded
to the grief over his wife and the loss of his career. But
when James meets his lovely new Irish assistant, a strong
longing, long thought dead, awakens in his heart. Although
the Irish healer believes she can never hope to win the
heart of the handsome physician, she finds herself slowly
losing her heart to him with each passing day she spends by
his side. But Rachel's secret from her past threatens the
newfound trust James has placed in her. But Rachel is not
the only one with a secret.
THE IRISH HEALER is a tender love story readers will cherish

Herriman has weaved together a passionately intense romance,
hidden secrets, and the travails of the nineteenth-century
physician. THE IRISH HEALER is the perfect summer read!
Accused of murdering a child under her care, Irish healer
Rachel Dunne flees the ensuing scandal while vowing to never
sit at another sickbed. She no longer trusts in her
abilities-or God's mercy--though when a cholera epidemic
sweeps through London, she feels compelled to nurse the
dying daughter of the enigmatic physician she has come to love.
James Edmunds, wearied by the deaths of too many patients,
has his own doubts about God's grace. Together, they will
have to face their darkest fears . . . and learn what it
means to have real faith.
