Not what I was expecting. Too much fantasy for my taste. Those of you who like magic elements will probably enjoy this more.

This is a book that left me me thinking, "Wow! What did I just read?" Days later I'm still thinking about this book.

What initially drew me to read this book was the initial premise of someone having the ability to heal with their hands. As far as "superpowers" go, this is a pretty amazing one. There are both ethical and moral choices to be made by someone with this ability and when that person is a child the responsibility that comes with this capability is even larger. How do you decide if and when to use this "power"? Who is "worthy"? Is it a blessing or a curse?

While there is a love story in the background, I found it to be a secondary theme and would definitely not classify this as a romance. Personally, I typically read thrillers and mysteries. I was concerned that this would be slow paced and a chore to read. I couldn't have been more wrong! I read this front to back in one sitting. It's been days since I read it and I can't stop thinking about this book.

I've seen terms such as "women's literature", "supernatural", "love story", and "romance" used to describe this book, but I don't feel that this book neatly fits into any of these genres. In fact I haven't found myself able to place this book in any particular genre. It encompasses so many subjects and themes. I could label it as "Contemporary Fiction", but that's a very general category and doesn't begin to do this book justice.

Thank you for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

What an interesting and absolutely beautiful love story. I highly enjoyed reading this one. The story was both heartbreaking and beautifully written. I absolutely cannot wait to share my full thoughts and review on this one. I apologize due to some unexpected health issues it is taking me a bit longer to upload, but please watch this space for an update soon

Excellent characters, who seemed real even in a tale of supernatural abilities. Being character-driven, I can see this turned into a screenplay.
