Synopsis

A captivating tale of compassion, resilience, and the bonds of love and friendship

Ruth “Dok” Stoltzfus is the kind of doctor who still believes in house calls, addressing not just her patients’ physical needs but their emotional ones too.

When newly widowed Bee faces a breast cancer diagnosis, Dok connects her with Fern Lapp for support. When her painfully shy assistant Annie finds herself drawn to a new calling, Dok goes to great lengths to help her achieve her dream. And when an abandoned newborn mysteriously
appears at her office one frosty morning, Dok’s world takes an unexpected turn as ripples of change touch several lives.

Bestselling and award-winning author Suzanne Woods Fisher invites you into a story that’s like medicine for the weary soul. Join Dok and the tight-knit Stoney Ridge community as they navigate the twists of fate, discovering that sometimes the greatest healing comes from the heart.

I’ve discovered a new author that I will have to put on my list to read more books by. I love this book about a small town and all of the people who live in it.

I really enjoyed this story! There were so many characters that were enjoyable in this story but my favorite was Fern.

A Healing Touch has three main storylines and chapters alternate between the two. Dok Stoltzfus is the town's doctor, she serv......more
