The Healer's War is a powerful historical novel of courage, love, loss and compassion, set against the brutality of the First World War. Redbird, a young Cherokee healer carrying the wounds of his people's past, crosses an ocean to serve on the battlefields of France. He enters the war not to take lives, but to save them. Yet in the mud and blood of the trenches, his calling is tested as he struggles to remain a healer in a world determined to turn men into killers.

On the other side of the battlefield is Gunter Weber, a gifted German marksman whose skill with a rifle has made him a deadly sniper. But Gunter is more than the enemy behind a rifle scope. He carries memories of home, the love of Erica, and the promises he made before the war changed everything. Red, too, carries someone in his heart. Noya represents the life, love and future waiting for him beyond the battlefield. For both men, the greatest battle is not simply staying alive. It is holding on to the people they were before the war.

As Red and Gunter are drawn toward an inevitable confrontation, the line between enemy and human being begins to blur. Their struggle becomes as emotional as it is physical, forcing both men to confront honour, grief, loyalty, mercy and the price of survival. Rooted in Cherokee history and the tragedy of the Trail of Tears, and carried into the trenches of World War I, The Healer's War is ultimately not a story about who wins a war. It is a story about what remains of our humanity when war has taken almost everything else.
