A Healing Touch
Dr. Ruth Stoltzfus has become a trusted physician to the Amish community of Stoney Ridge, where professional boundaries are hard to maintain when every patient is also a neighbor. A widow facing cancer, an assistant carrying her own hopes, and an abandoned newborn draw Dok into problems medicine alone cannot solve. As several lives converge around her practice, Ruth must decide when healing means treatment and when it means simply staying present with people in pain. This contemporary Amish novel balances medical dilemmas, community relationships, quiet romance, and questions of vocation and compassion.
