This was an emotional book about multiple generations of women carrying the gift to heal. It's a beautiful exploration of the challenges that health care workers, especially nurses, face when caring for patients. I really appreciated the commentary around allowing people peaceful, respectful passings. Dignity in death is something that's important to me, and this story definitely emphasized it's importance.

However, I never really found myself fully connecting with the characters. I'm not exactly sure why, but I finished the story and just felt like it was missing something. I do think that someone who really loves historical fiction would enjoy this more than I did!

Thank you to NetGalley and Greydon House for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
