An emotionally powerful debut with a magical twist, set between WWII France and present-day Appalachia, about generations of women in a family, their secret healing abilities, and the mysterious consequences they must contend with when they use their skills on someone they love

“A profound tale of love, family legacy, secrets, and the extraordinary power within us all.... A deeply felt debut.”
—PATTI CALLAHAN HENRY, New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Book of Flora Lea

For generations, the Winston women have possessed an unspoken magical gift: they can heal with the touch of a hand. It’s a tradition they’ve always had to practice in secret, in the moonlight hours, when the fireflies dance and the whippoorwill birds sing.

But not every healer has rightfully passed on this knowledge to her descendants, and for young Louise Winston, the discovery of her abilities comes in less-than-ideal circumstances—she brings her best friend back from death following an accident, the day after he professed his long-held feelings for her, five days before she’s supposed to move away.

Desperate for answers, and to avoid this new reality between them, Louise escapes to her grandmother’s lush Appalachian orchard. There, she uncovers her family’s hidden history in a tattered journal, stemming back to her brave great-grandmother who illicitly healed Allied soldiers in war-torn France. But just as Louise begins to embrace her unique legacy, she learns that it can also come with a mysterious cost. And with a life hanging in the balance, she’ll be forced to make the most impossible of choices…

Spanning eighty years, The Moonlight Healers is a deeply empathetic, heartfelt novel about mothers and daughters, life and death, and the beautiful resilience of love. Women's Fiction Family Life Magical Realism Heartfelt Thought-Provoking Genre Fiction Magic

i really enjoyed this, the story, the characters, and the narration. In a society that avoids conversations about aging, death, and all that comes with those, I found this very refreshing and emotional. The story takes it time building to something beautiful. It's a multigenerational coming of age that reminds us we all have our own struggles.

A must for healthcare workers and beyond

a Terrific story magic and the way lives intertwined, it is a scary thing the first time you help someone cross over whether it's in a hospital or on the side of road after an accident you still have to be comforting.

Beautifully written story. I couldn’t put it down. Having 3 young kids, I still managed to read it in a few days finding any free time I had reading or listening to this book. Loved how there was a touch of magic fantasy in a very believable reality. I also love how it switched back and forth between 1940’s France and Virginia in 2019 and how there were 2 distinct readers for Helene and Louise. Nicely done. Highly recommend for easy reading and book clubs. The author paints beautiful pictures with her words.

Perfect for book clubs!
