In "The Healer" by Donna Freitas, readers are drawn into the story of a young girl named Deirdre who possesses the extraordinary ability to heal others. Set in a small community marked by tragedy and loss, Deirdre grapples with the weight of her gift, struggling to understand its implications for herself and those around her. As she navigates the complexities of friendship, family expectations, and the ethical dilemmas of her power, Deirdre must ultimately decide how far she is willing to go to help others—and what sacrifices she may need to make in the process.
