As this series continues, a nineteenth-century Italian woman takes on the mantle of her family’s legacy to help others, but potentially at great cost to her.

Since Ginevra Innocenti’s death, the cottage has lain empty and abandoned in the woods—until the day Ginevra’s granddaughter, Sara, sees a dragonfly in the depths of winter. Intrigued, she follows it and discovers the forgotten cottage. 

When Sara learns that her grandmother was once a healer, a series of events is set in motion that could lead to the end of the family legacy.

As long-hidden secrets are revealed, Sara starts to doubt everything she once believed in. Her mind in turmoil, she no longer knows whether she can follow in the footsteps of her ancestors. Disowned by her parents, it’s time to make a difficult decision. But rumors leave Sara fearing for her future. Will the curse of the Innocenti strike her family once more?

Helen Pryke is also the author of the Maggie Turner mysteries. The Healer’s Awakening is a compelling saga with a touch of romance. It’s the perfect read for fans of authors like Philippa Gregory, Lindsey Jayne Ashford, and Dinah Jefferies.
