"The Moonlight Healers is a profound tale of love, family legacy, secrets, and the extraordinary power within us all. A deeply felt debut, brimming with impossible choices and powerful love." --Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Book of Flora Lea "The Moonlight Healers is a bravura turn. Elizabeth Becker's novel is a lustrous and nuanced exploration over generations of women that shows the magic we are capable of bestowing on others, and ourselves." --Jeffrey Dale Lofton, award-winning author of Red Clay Suzie "Enchanting. Becker skillfully braids the timelines to create a powerful ode to the strength of those who have dedicated their lives to healing and caregiving work. Fans of Heather Webb and Alice Hoffman ought to take a look." --Publishers Weekly "Gorgeously written with impeccably drawn characters, The Moonlight Healers is a dazzling debut.
I absolutely loved this richly-imagined, magical, healing story spanning generations of mothers and daughters with a beautiful and impossible gift." --Jillian Cantor, USA Today bestselling author of Beautiful Little Fools "Tender, wise, and moving. I loved the way Becker wove together the story of generations and the incredible power of one heart to touch another. I wish I could live inside the Winston's family peach orchard, and I know that readers will love visiting it too!" --Polly Stewart, author of The Good Ones "The Moonlight Healers is a page-turning family drama with elements of historical fiction and magical realism plus a generous dash of romance. Weaving two storylines that span one family, Becker masterfully transports the reader to war-torn France and modern-day Crozet, an idyllic small town nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I savored every word." --A.H.
Kim, author of Relative Strangers "The Moonlight Healers weaves a lyrical, magical love story about mothers, daughters, and the ties that bind us across generations. Elizabeth Becker is a dazzling writer, and her unforgettable characters will always have a place on my bookshelf." --Katharine Schellman, author of Last Call at the Nightingale "The Moonlight Healers is an emotionally heartfelt debut that explores the moral dilemmas of life and death through the hands of a folk healer. Becker beautifully connects the characters in a magical, deeply moving story that will stick with you long after the book is closed." --Dana Elmendorf, author of In the Hour of Crows "A lovely, moving novel." --Booklist "[A]n amazing story. The dual narratives complement each other, the characters are authentic, and the plot moves forward with excellent pacing. A great read with an ending I did not see coming.
Highly recommended." --Historical Novel Society.
