Phina is a delightful story of a young woman with rare healing powers from the great spirit. When savages invade her home, she becomes a fugitive orphan. Like the Old Testament, David, who was plucked from the field to play for King Saul, Phina is pulled off the street to soothe the palace governor. Readers wonder if Phina will ever be loved and accepted for her rare gift. Or will palace officials evict her when they learn of her true identity? This easy-to-read fantasy is deceptively deep. An undercurrent of traumatic healing, accepting one’s authentic self, and recognizing the hand of providence flow throughout.

Great Read!

I really enjoyed the story! Phina’s character was so different and I just loved her humility. If we could all be more like her what a better place this might be. Great love story!
