A Healing Touch:

(Amish Fiction about a Small Town Community Doctor and an Abandoned Baby) 

October 1, 2024

by Suzanne Woods Fisher (Author)

Ruth "Dok" Stoltzfus is the kind of doctor who still believes in house calls, addressing not just her patients' physical needs but their emotional ones too. When newly widowed Bee faces a breast cancer diagnosis, Dok connects her with Fern Lapp for support. When her painfully shy assistant Annie finds herself drawn to a new calling, Dok goes to great lengths to help her achieve her dream. And when an abandoned newborn mysteriously appears at her office one frosty morning, Dok's world takes an unexpected turn as ripples of change touch several lives.

A Healing Touch is a captivating tale of compassion, resilience, and the bonds that form in surprising places. Bestselling and award-winning author Suzanne Woods Fisher invites you into a new story that's like medicine for the weary soul. Join Dok, Annie, and the tight-knit Stoney Ridge community as they navigate the twists of fate, discovering that sometimes the greatest healing comes from the heart.

 Marilyn's thoughts:   

“A doctor can treat, but only God can heal.” “Faith should infuse grief.”

It was nice to return to Stoney Ridge with Ruth “Dok” Stoltzfus story as a doctor to the Amish community as well as Englishers. Growing up Amish she understood the beliefs of her patients which was a plus. There were a variety of characters with issues in this story that Dok was in touched with. Dok’s own life was challenged in this tale where she had to release her own situations to the Lord knowing best. I would like to see Fisher write Annie’s story who is Dok’s office assistant in this read.

Fisher has a way to draw her readers in from the start till the story is finished. Her creativity with humor, plots, Amish proverbs, strong characters and faith brings life to her books.
