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.
SUMMARY
Lori Copeland, beloved author of more than 100 books,
brings
a new adventure to life in her latest novel. Lyric Bolton doesn’t ask for much—just friendship and
acceptance from her rural Missouri community. But her
family
is regarded with suspicion and fear because of her
mother’s
sickness—a sickness of the mind that grows worse by the
day. Lyric is resigned to a life of isolation and doesn’t see
any
way out…but that’s before Ian Cawley bolts into her life
on
a runaway stallion. As she opens her heart to Ian, Lyric
dares to imagine a different life. But what will happen
when
he discovers the secret she holds closest of all?
