{"product_id":"healer-a-novel","title":"Healer","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom national bestselling author Carol Cassella comes the story of one doctorâ s struggle to hold her family together through a storm of broken trust and questioned ethics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClaire 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 Claireâ 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 Claireâ s family and forces her to question what it truly means to heal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHealer exposes the vulnerabilities of the American family, provoking questions of choice versus fate, desire versus need, and the duplicitous power of money.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tide Turners Books \u0026 More","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48406653632767,"sku":"9781416556121","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0702\/2968\/8575\/files\/9781416556121.jpg?v=1776482697","url":"https:\/\/tideturnersbooks.com\/products\/healer-a-novel","provider":"Tide Turners Books \u0026 More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
