Description
Tara's Healing is Janice Holt Giles's third novel, published in 1951. It concludes her Kentucky Mountain trilogy, which also includes The Enduring Hills and Miss Willie. The story follows Tara Cochrane, who had been Hod's captain during World War II. After returning from Europe to study medicine and start a practice, Tara collapses with a severe nervous breakdown. Hod finds him in the hospital and persuades him to leave with him to the hill country, hoping that the peace will effect a cure where medicine has failed. Set against the backdrop of the Kentucky Mountain region, this novel explores themes of recovery, resilience, and the healing power of nature.
