Reviews
Its tough to follow a spectacular debut like Oxygen , Carol Cassellas striking first novel, with an even stronger second novel, but shes done it with Healer . There are no blatant good guys and bad guys in Healer , no simple blacks and whites. Cassellas characters come in myriad shades of gray that make up the complex psyche of all human beings. And when money competes with good intentions, Cassella doesnt shy away from negotiating the murky ethical areas where profit and altruism collide, weaving questions of immigration, health care, and the power of big pharma into a page turning drama. I highly recommend this compelling new book by this remarkable author. Garth Stein, author of The Art of Racing in the Rain, "Healercontains absolutely everything I love in a book-a strong, sympathetic female character, suspense that keeps you turning pages, and a deep and nuanced understanding of love.'Cassella's book is brilliant on all fronts.' It is one of the most gripping and ingeniously crafted'novels I have read this year."-Elin Hilderbrand,New York Timesbestselling author ofThe Castaways, In her debut novel, Carol Cassella has crafted a rich, layered tale. This medical mystery—which could have easily been rendered in shades of black and white—is told with lyric grace and deep compassion. Like her protagonist, Carol Cassella has the heart of a poet and the mind of a physician; the result is a striking meditation on the complexities of love, the fragile miracle that is the human body, and the burdens and blessings of being a healer.

Synopsis
From national bestselling author Carol Cassella comes the story of one doctor's struggle to hold her family together through a storm of broken trust and questioned ethics. Claire is at the start of her medical career when she falls in love with Addison Boehning, a biochemist with blazing genius and big dreams. A complicated pregnancy deflects Claire's professional path, and she is forced to drop out of her residency. Soon thereafter Addison invents a simple blood test for ovarian cancer, and his biotech start-up lands a fortune. Overnight the Boehnings are catapulted into a financial and social tier they had never anticipated or sought: they move into a gracious Seattle home and buy an old ranch in the high desert mountains of eastern Washington, and Claire drifts away from medicine to become a full-time wife and mother. Then Addison gambles everything on a cutting-edge cancer drug, and when the studies go awry, their comfortable life is swept away. Claire and her daughter, Jory, move to a dilapidated ranch house in rural Hallum, where Claire has to find a job until Addison can salvage his discredited lab. Her only offer for employment comes from a struggling public health clinic, but Claire gets more than a second chance at medicine when she meets Miguela, a bright Nicaraguan immigrant and orphan of the contra war who has come to the United States on a secret quest to find the family she has lost. As their friendship develops, a new mystery unfolds that threatens to destroy Claire's family and forces her to question what it truly means to heal. Healer exposes the vulnerabilities of the American family, provoking questions of choice versus fate, desire versus need, and the duplicitous power of money.
