Young, lonely, and insecure, Alice Fletcher is on the verge of emotional collapse when she stumbles into St. Benets Church to dodge the London drizzle. There, she witnesses a group of gifted healers led by the charismatic Nicholas Darrow. Gaining refuge at last, Alice is drawn--inexorably, seductively--into the complex network of relationships at St. Benets healing center--as she falls immediately, dangerously, in love with Darrow himself. Yet Darrow and his cutting-edge clergy are not all what they seem. And while Nicholass dazzling powers now threaten to ruin all he attempts to save--including his own disturbed marriage--Alices devotion to him deepens. Then a devastating tragedy transports her to the shocking center of truth. Yet fueled by her love for Nicholas and a boldly emerging intuition, she will hold together the lives spinning wildly out of control--as she herself is transformed forever.About the Author:Susan Howatch was born in Surrey.
