I will read anything by Suzanne Woods Fisher and I am never disappointed! A Healing Touch is a standalone that is set in Stoney Ridge and has some familiar characters in it. A Healing Touch has three main storylines and chapters alternate between the two. Dok Stoltzfus is the town's doctor, she serves Amish and Englishers and is beloved by both. Having grown up plain she knows how to connect with her community. When an abandoned baby is found on her office doorstep, she and her husband find themselves as temporary foster parents. Her husband is enamored with the idea but she is not, she feels that she is well past that stage in her life and wants to focus on being there for her community. Will a baby get in the way? Annie is Dok's trusty assistant. Even though she is plain she LOVES helping people and learning everything medical. When she discovers an Amish EMT she feels called to become one as well - but how to convince her family and her boss? Finally there is Bee. She is recently widowed and is undergoing chemo for breast cancer. To top is off, her meddling doctor (Dok) has forced her to have grief sessions with an Amish widow down the road and has found a man to help her take care of her horses, the same man that sabotaged Bee's career early on. These three storylines are heartfelt and will tug at reader's hearts. Another wonderful inspirational read from Fisher!
