Publisher's Synopsis
Harlan Jane Eagleton is a faith healer, travelling by bus to small towns, converting sceptics, restoring minds and bodies. But before that she was a rock star's manager and before that a beautician. Harlan draws us constantly deeper into her world and the mystery at the heart of her tale - the story of her first healing. The Healing is a lyrical exploration of the struggle to let go of pain, anger and love. Gayl Jones' ability to capture the sounds and moods of the American South makes her one of the crucial American writers of our time.
