Description
Herbalist Moira Devlin is a woman imprisoned by the gift she must hide and the past she must elude. She is asked to care for the people of Mineral when the town physician unexpectedly passes. To please her mentor, she agrees and only uses her healing power when necessary and covertly, just as she was taught. All is well until a new doctor arrives and threatens her newfound freedom. Doctor Anson Locke has traveled to the Indian Territories to escape the memories of the family he couldn't save. He doesn't count on a distraction as lovely as Moira Devlin, a peddler of snake oils, just like the one who poisoned his wife. Can Moira and Anson overcome their pasts and find love?

Was her mother killed?
Cool.
There's a new doctor in town.
Twat thinks he knows best because he's a man.
I don't think I would want a gift.
That's what you get when you snoop.
Amazing to think people didn't know what cells were yet.
Mother-in-law problems.
Gabe is a sore loser. He's just a kid, why would she be interested?

Magic in Her Touch by Donna Dalton is a wonderful novel of the struggle women healers faced in the 1800’s. The doctor in the small town of Mineral has passed away and Moira is the only one with the knowledge of healing herbs and potions but the people are very cautious about trusting a woman to treat them. Just as the begin to come around a new doctor shows up. He believes all-natural healing and potions are “snake oil” treatments and harmful. Will the two of them find middle ground to serve the people or will Moira be labeled a witch and burned at the stake?
I couldn’t put this book down; there was so much going on and the struggles of Moira were so real I wanted to know she would be okay. The characters are very realistic and for the time they react as persons of that era might have by being very skeptical of unknown cures. Some of the characters have an agenda that wants to just get rid of Moira for more personal reasons. This book will appeal to a wide audience and I give it 5 of 5 stars. I would definitely read more by this author.
I received an advance copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
