During months of recuperation his powers of observation are heightened and ultimately the time spent alone teaches him not only about survival, but about becoming the “big boy” the nurses constantly urge him to be, as he learns to accept the inevitable tragedies of life that surround us all.The Healer is the third short story written by J. Michael Fay (also available: Tenderness and The Whirlabout), and the fourth in a series, published by IslandShorts.“In Michael Fay's rich new story, Danny's rheumatic fever sends him to hospital where he encounters Sammy, a leukemic boy who tells him of a Healer who will come when called, and who will heal all who ask. Danny later feels great need of the Healer when his own life takes a dizzying, tragic turn. In openhearted, unsentimental prose, Michael Fay's coming-of-age tale reminds us that our own inner resilience trumps all invisible wishes for a Healer who may or may not come.” ~ Kimmy Beach, author of The Last Temptation of Bond (The University of Alberta Press, 2013)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
