Publisher's Synopsis
A mother's death. A father's betrayal.
Hope shattered. Wounds run deep.
Who will help the wounded?
When Rachel, a young Irish nurse, crosses the Atlantic to serve a mining community in Newfoundland during the 1920s, she meets a troubled young man struggling to come to terms with a deep pain that has haunted him ever since he was a boy. Through faith in God and the unity of the tight-knit town, the healing process can begin. But will romance bloom?
Like the healing balm of Gilead that soothes and comforts, the wounded can overcome, flourish, serve others, and help to bring about positive changes in their own lives and those of others.
