Overview: Anastasie Devereux was born in Louisiana amid the ferocity of a hurricane. Her parents, simple, but not ordinary, can’t shield her from the world.
Leprosy, polio scourges, and bigotry infect the nation.
At puberty, her mother reveals that she possesses a gift of healing, passed from mother to daughter. If the daughter denies the gift or fails to use it, it disappears forever. If the gift is used, she acquires symptoms of the ailment she cures. The healer and her ability are diminished.
Anastasie knows love and predation in adolescence, but is drawn to her legacy of healing. She becomes a nurse and joins the Army. In the mountains of Vietnam, Anastasie’s destiny is challenged. She encounters love, loss, despair.
She returns home to protesters and turmoil, yet gains solace with her father, a quiet war hero. She renews her friendship with a girl whose issues of being an African-American have led her into an abyss.
Anastasie takes a job in nursing. Life is empty, prospects grim. A call changes that and she finds love and happiness with a former vet, Sam..
The couple lives an idyllic life in Virginia and has a child, Abigail. Everything is perfect, but Sam, who works for the CIA, is sent to Bosnia and dies. Anastasie has a child crushed by the loss of her father.
