While the US medical scene has recently become a hotbed of political controversy, the people who serve the sick are nameless individuals who can be swept about at a government’s whim. My novel, Mountain of Healing, looks at human and government failures that can have a far-reaching impact on caregivers and patients alike.

This is set in rural Appalachia. Angela, a big-city nurse finds herself immersed in a culture where her confidence is challenged. She comes face to face with a God and savior that these simple country people adore, serve, and highly recommend.

This book is unique in that while it acknowledges the community that is healthcare at its best and worst, it also delves into decisions and secrets of past generations that bring a whole town to its knees.
