A WONDERFUL STORY
By Kym McNabney
THE IRISH HEALER by NANCY HERRIMAN is my first read by this author, and I feel fortunate to have come across this novel. I was drawn to the storyline and time period, but that doesn't ensure an enjoyable read. Often a book can start out well, the author taking care to captivate the reader. But what sets authors apart is those that can carry a well written and intriguing story from the very first page to the last.Accused of murder, Rachel Dunne is forced to leave her family and hometown in Ireland. Her cousin has secured Rachel temporary employment with Dr. James Edmunds. But she has a secret she fears if discovered will cost her her job. But Rachel's not the only one with a secret. The good Doctor has one of his own.Rachel can't understand why God has placed her in the very situation she escaped from. James' hurts go deep as he gave in to man's, rather than God's, plan for his life. But with God's help, will Rachel and James find their way back to their purpose and passion in life...and a love they never dreamed of.NANCY HERRIMAN has written a fantastic novel. I thought I was in London, back in the 1830's. The characters were vivid with realistic strengths and weaknesses. As an aspiring writer, I tend to analyze everything I read, any flaws in the writing, the plot or characters. THE IRISH HEALER left no room for improvement. It was beautifully done.I look forward to reading more novels by MS. HERRIMAN in the future.*Please see my profile for more information on this review.

I was drawn into this story from the very first and found it hard to put down.Nancy writes in a way that you feel you are living it from the first line "My name is Rachel Dunne. I am not a murderer" through her long journey from her home in Ireland to the streets of London where her life takes a different turn.Come go along with her and see just what happens as she tries to come to terms with her place in the home and heart of Dr. James Edmunds.Can she keep her secret from James and find peace and maybe love so far from all she has ever known in a world so different from her homeland.I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a very good book.I received this book from the Author as an Advance Reader Copy but the review is my own honest opinion.

By NorCalReader
Like richly textured cinematography, author Nancy Herriman's imagery is mesmerizing and her poignant and stirring story of loss, forgiveness and healing completely swept me away. The characters, even "walk-ons," are beautifully drawn and well-developed, from the despairing physician hero and very determined Irish heroine, to an engaging team of servants: impish houseboy Joe, devout and motherly cook Mrs. Mainprice, spiteful and dangerously desperate maid Molly . . . to a poor, heart-tugging child selling apples on treacherous London streets. These characters come alive in the chapters and linger long after the last page is turned.As a nurse, I particularly enjoyed insight into the role of a woman "healer" and the many fascinating glimpses into medical practices of the times, from herbal remedies to the newly invented (wooden!) stethoscope. Romance, warm humor, great natural dialogue, tense conflict . . . and hope like soul-soothing balm. The Irish Healer offers it all, and I heartily recommend it.
