I liked the cute faces of Alvin and his brother. They make it look real.

Set in a backwater part of Georgia in 1822, this novel contrasts the healing capabilities of a medical doctor and three sisters who are self-taught healers. The book was very enjoyable, at times funny and sad. Of course, the sisters methods of healing with herbs and poultices were more popular and effective than the doctor's amputations and blood-letting. It was a good read.

Good

Good life advice from an intelligent woman who took a big gamble that paid off.

A good mystery

It was good!

This was a powerful tale that spans centuries; it focuses on the women of the Weyward family, all of whom suffer abuse by men. It's brutal to read what they went through but I drew comfort from the women's inner strength, cunning and sense of purpose. I enjoyed reading about their bond with the natural world and their ability to use herbs to heal which, in ancient times, caused them to be labeled witches. I thought the book was well-written and engrossing.
