Through villages and towns, dense Alpine forests, and perilous mountain passes, Jean Duchesne flees for his life. A pariah from birth, Jean's sixth finger and skill for healing using unusual remedies have labeled him the "devil's child" in early fifteenth-century Switzerland, where accusations of witchcraft send countless innocents to the stake. Defying the odds, Jean makes it to Geneva, the bustling center of trade, and establishes himself as a medical pioneer. From the four corners of Europe, people come to the city fairs to buy and sell exotic treasures, and Jean's reputation spreads throughout the continent. Openly challenging accepted medical practices, he builds an architectural marvel of a clinic with the controversial and innovative Anthonia Ducastel, and they hope against hope that their successful venture will be enough to quell the claims of heresy that are never far behind, threatening all they hold dear.
The Good Healer is the first in a series of novels that employs medieval superstition and religious persecution as the backdrop for tales of innovation in healthcare architecture and healing methods.
