Fiction

What happens when ancient healing traditions meet a rapidly changing America? In The Healer of Corky Row, Virginia Ryan explores that question through Nuala Conneely, an Irish healer whose life is shaped by family, faith, folklore, immigration, and a sacred geis, a vow she carries from Ireland to a Massachusetts mill town. “The essence of Nuala Conneely is conflict, which is why her ultimate mission in life is to find balance.” Published by Sea Crow Press on September 15, 202

In this author Q&A, Susan Blood discusses Hermit, a funny and thoughtful novel about reinvention, solitude, self-discovery, and the unexpected ways we change.
