From AudioFile

This award-winning science fiction book presents a strong and courageous healer who confronts her world head on with compassion and strength. Anna Fields narrates with her usual mastery of the nuances of plot, mood, and character. She offers up enough differentiation to help the reader distinguish the characters and maintains the fast pace of the story while supporting the clear and forceful writing of the author. Fields adds to the haunting sense of reality and possibility that underlies the events set forth. This tale about snakes and their healing power will cause many listeners to have new respect and appreciation for these often maligned creatures.
