Details

For two years, Sarah travelled the region meeting healers, collecting stories, and asking:

Who are the people with cures?

How did they get them?

Why do they continue the practice?

Can these traditions be passed on?

Featuring artwork by Margaret McKenna and photography by Lorraine Teevan, this book offers a rare insight into a disappearing tradition.

Suitable for all ages — especially those who love storytelling, heritage, and local history.
