Description

For several generations, women of the Winston family possessed a secret gift: they could heal with a touch of their hands. But they had to use their abilities away from prying eyes, in moonlit hours when fireflies dance and nightjars sing. Not every healer dared to reveal the truth to her descendants, and for young Louise Winston, the realization of her gift comes under tragic circumstances: she accidentally brings her best friend, Peter, back to life after a terrible car accident—one that happened the day after he confessed his love to her, and just a few days before Louise leaves for New York University.

In desperate anguish over her unexpected gift, searching for answers, the girl flees to her grandmother Camille’s lush garden in the Appalachians. Only there will the secret history of their family be revealed to Louise on the pages of a battered diary kept by her great-grandmother, who healed wounded Allied soldiers in war-torn France during the Second World War.
