Hope Evans is a dedicated nurse with a passion for healing others and she uses these talents while working in a large metropolitan hospital. She believes she has a near perfect existence until a drunken driver, speeding through a stop life, changes life as she knows it forever. Standing next to her now broken body, Hope watches as emergency medical personnel try valiantly to revive her. She feels someone tap her shoulder and turns to meet a beautiful angel waiting to escort her to her new home on the Other Side. As preparations are made to begin her life review, Hope is introduced to various spiritual advisors who present her with an unexpected dilemma. She must choose to end her life or return to earth to become a healer of those who suffer from various wounds - physical, mental, emotional as well as spiritual. She elects to return to earth to determine how best to serve others. During her journey of discovery, support arrives in the form of a former Army military intelligence pilot as well as a rescued German shepherd dog. Together they team up to help wounded warriors - those young people who sacrificed much in the service of their country. Not everyone is happy that Hope has been granted the ability to heal wounded warriors and she finds that her efforts are often thwarted. Many obstacles present themselves in the form of bombings, kidnappings, and attempts on her life as well as the lives of those who assist her. Who is to blame for all this trouble? Could it be fanatic terrorist groups who have pledged to destroy the United States? Or is it a government agency jealous of her proven abilities? Or will she discover it is the military with orders coming from the highest level of the Department of Defense attempting to stop her? In this suspense-filled novel, Hope must confront and overcome her enemies or forever forego her commitment to be The Healer of Wounded Souls.
