Back Cover
Join Jacqueline Moore on a pilgrimage to meet some amazing Saskatchewan
healers. This journey takes us out into the prairies, the villages, the forests
and the suburbs to introduce us to thirteen of the province’s folk medicine
practitioners. These are rare and gifted individuals; each of them utilizing
their unique form of organic chemistry or subtle energies, each of them quietly
making a remarkable difference in the lives of others. For the author, the quest
becomes a personal one which candidly explores life, death, and most everything
in between. This book is an homage to these healers, and an offering to share in
the wisdom they have gathered about the natural world and our place in it.
“My head is swarming with fascinating characters, all of whom
want me to be more healthy and harmonious with the world. This book has had a
real impact on my thinking, so it might be some time before I dislodge these
characters from my mind. This is a hopeful book. It is suffused with stories of
friendship, trust, and selflessness. It runs counter to the kind of cynicism we
sometimes attach to the medical profession. I think this book will find its
audience among the many people who are predisposed to look elsewhere for their
advice on health.”
— David Carpenter
“I was most taken with this book. It’s an intriguing peek in
to the far–from ordinary lives of the rural people of all heritages of
Saskatchewan who feel a gift of healing has chosen them. I learned something new
on almost every page, which is a miracle in itself!”
— Susan Musgrave
