Synopsis

She was a disappointment from the day she was born. Who was this strange child, who spoke of things she was not supposed to know?She was different, odd, and was known to act a little weird. And yet she was, at times, wise beyond her years. But then, as her parents would eventually learn, she was born for a single purpose.One person, a stranger among them, had the wherewithal to recognize this purpose. She took the youngster under her wing, fostering her abilities until she became a young woman and emerged to be the person she was meant to be:The Healer.Jan Hogan, award-winning journalist, turns her talents to crafting a story that blends secrets, wealth, betrayal, greed, forbidden love and a pathway that involves an extraordinary ability all intertwined to keep the reader flipping the pages. "The Healer" takes one into the world of the turn of the century where a family of influence keeps secrets from one another, where money is power and outward appearances are not what they seem behind closed doors. Into this world is thrust a young girl who sees the world through different eyes who is guided by a strange mentor and who befriends an outcast of society - a perky prostitute. As she comes into her own, she is forced to make a choice - honor her family's strict code of conduct or forge her own path in life.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Jan Hogan began her writing career as a freelance magazine writer. Ten years later, on Christmas Eve, she received a phone call. The Las Vegas Review-Journal, the largest newspaper in Nevada, had seen her work and offered her a job. Since then, Hogan has added thousands of articles to her resume but there was a desire to do more. She began writing fiction in her spare time. The first book was "Coffee, Tea or ... Murder?" Sue Grafton, author of the alphabet murder series, graciously read over the first draft, made suggestions and declared the second draft ready for competition. It went on to take Honorable Mention in Writer's Digest annual contest, chosen from more than 13,200 entries. Since then, Hogan expanded that to a three-book series, plus written contemporary works such as "The Ghost and Nikki Haiffen" a sexy, modern update to the "Ghost and Mrs. Muir" movie of 1947 and the globe-trotting "Hiding In Plain Sight" which is set, in part, in Hogan's stomping grounds, Las Vegas.
