    About this audiobook

    In the fourteenth century, opportunities for women are limited to the home. But spirited young Madlen finds her calling as assistant to the city’s trusted midwife, Clara. Working alongside Clara, Madlen develops a surprisingly soothing technique and quickly becomes a talented healer.

    After Clara’s tragic death, Madlen alone rushes to assist the birth of a local nobleman’s child. But rather than the joy of birth, Madlen walks into an accusation of murder and witchcraft because of her extraordinary gifts. Forced to flee her own town, she establishes a new identity in the home of her aunt. Yet even though it endangers her life, she cannot resist the urge to help the sick patients who seek out her miraculous treatment. When she meets handsome Johannes—an investigator hired by the Church to bring her to justice for sacrilegious acts—she becomes drawn to the very man that could destroy her.

    Will Madlen’s gifts bring about her downfall? Or can love and reason prevail in a time of fearful superstition?

      The Secret Healer has a interesting storyline. First half of the book was a speedy read. Then, I had trouble finishing it. The husband's belief flipping was not quite believable. However, all loose ends are nicely cleaned up with a satisfying ending.
