Too many young adult books have annoying characters. I've read a number recently and even good ones seem to have that fault. This book differs from the genre in that it doesn't take place in high school. In fact, it takes place in the 1200's. It deals with Dolssa, a healer who is taken to be a heretic. Botille and her sisters hide her from a persistent man Friar Lucien who is hunting her. Soon she is healing again and the hunt for her becomes easy. I welcomed this historical fiction book. It was certainly different than the other young adult books I've read. I applaud the change. Young adult publishers need to get more books like this in print. This is a book about characters who don't even know prom is. It's refreshing.
