Lyric Bolton and her sister Lark live an isolated life. They live with their mother on a small farm. Their mother is sick and has fits. Because of their mom's sickness people are scared of them and will not go to their home or welcome the girls anywhere either.

THE HEALER'S TOUCH opens with the mystery of lights seen on a deserted stretch of gravel road, known to the locals as the Spooklights. I have never heard of this legend so I had to Google it and discovered it is a phenomenon that people have been seeing for many years.

Ian is a law man chasing after an outlaw when the lights cause him and his horse to bolt. He looses his memory when he slams into the door of Lyric's barn door. She assumes he is the outlaw but still takes him inside her house to tend to his wounds. He can't remember who he is but heals up quickly and begins to help out around the farm. A big ice storm keeps him at the farm and also keeps the Sheriff in town so no one knows where Ian is.

I have been reading Lori Copeland's writing for years and THE HEALER'S TOUCH does not disappoint and shows why I love her so much. I love her vivid descriptions and can picture the mountains of Missouri and the Bolton Holler easily while I was reading. Her characters are always so true to the time period in which the story is set. They have just the right amount of urgency in grave situations but they are also very light- hearted, even to the point of being funny. The characters draw me in as much as the story does and THE HEALER'S TOUCH is one of Lori's best novels and this is a story you'll both love and want to share with your friends and family.

THE HEALER'S TOUCH is a sweet/clean historical romance, light on tension but filled with wonderful secondary characters. I recommend it for anyone who wants a fast, romantic read. THE HEALER'S TOUCH captured my interest from the first page. What is not to love when you are mixing Historical romance with legend/folklore and mystery? The characters are well developed. Lyric had such a kind loving heart along with just enough anger to make her seem real to me. I was immediately hooked from page one and Lori Copeland knows how to hold the readers interest with all of her stories.
