The Healer of Harrow Point—
“...quiet, luminous”
—Denver Post
“Tender and skillfully blending fantasy and real life, this is a fable with a powerful message to ponder and it will linger long in readers' minds.”
—School Library Journal
“...lyrical and careful observations of woods, animals, and people; he has the rare ability not only to offer fresh descriptions of nature but to do so without impeding the flow of the plot. His writing bears watching.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Arresting first novel.”
—Napra Review
“It's a classic coming-of-age tale like Old Yeller or The Education of Little Tree. But be warned: Anyone who picks up The Healer of Harrow Point will find that it's impossible to put down.”
—Amazon.com
“The story is written so beautifully and evokes the woods so well. I could really see it.”
—Annemarie Powers, director. Children's Book Project, Columbia University Teachers College
