<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The Reluctant Healer tells the story of a young attorney who is torn between mounting evidence that he has the spiritual ability to heal others and his life-long skepticism of alternative views. Will Alexander is cautious and conventional. But when he meets Erica, a beautiful, intense energy healer, he becomes troubled not only by her unorthodox endeavors but also by the limitations of his own existence. Amidst this turmoil, Will is startled to discover that he may possess metaphysical gifts of healing that confront the narrow doctrines of his regulated life. The Reluctant Healer paints a portrait of a reasonable man who traces a path between skepticism and belief. Flawed, funny, and agnostic, Will distrusts much of the alternative world, even as he struggles internally with phenomena that challenge both his sense of self and his orderly perspective. Will's love for Erica, the exposure to her world, and his newfound powers place his life in a state of uncertainty, teetering between disruption and liberation."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Named to <i>Kirkus Reviews</i>' Best Books of 2018 <br> Winner of 2019 International Book Awards (General Fiction and Inspirational Fiction Categories) <br> Winner, 2019 New York City Big Book Award (General Fiction) </b> <p/><b>Between Doubt and Belief</b> <br><i>The Reluctant Healer</i> tells the story of a young attorney who is torn between mounting evidence that he has the spiritual ability to heal others and his life-long skepticism of alternative views.
