To Rachel Keyte death is the enemy. The early loss of her beloved father from heart failure ignited a single-minded determination in her: to save as many patients as she can, and to become a consultant before the age of forty. Everything else – friendship, love, empathy – is sacrificed to her obsession.
Now Rachel's surgical skills are twelve-year-old Craig's only hope for a normal life. His mother Eve holds a deep distrust of doctors, and her son is all she has. Reluctantly, she agrees for the operation to go ahead. But surgery is never predictable, nor is a devastated mother's terrifying reaction. Eve, it seems, wants a life for a life...

As a general rule, I don't often find "Christian fiction" to be well written nor engaging. The Healing Knife, however, isn't the normal type of Christian fiction, not least because it's well written, contemporary and honestly raw in places. Rachel is a self absorbed, workaholic doctor, with a prickly exterior, few friends and a determination to be the very best in her field of heart surgery. When one of her patients, a young teenager with a rare disease, dies, there are serious repercussions which rapidly get out of hand. The story of how Rachel survives what follows, learns about what is truly important in life and learns not just to forgive but how to develop deep rich relationships, is told in an engaging and honest way, with real life being shown in all its grittiness and well as its joys. The book was a page-turner for me - even when I had to look up definitions of some of the medical terms! And then came the section set in France and I was even more deeply drawn in. This is, as the author says, contemporary drama from a Christian world view but the Christian message is subtle and meaningful, and in no way thrust i your face. This is a great story and one I thoroughly enjoyed.
