More DescriptionNo sickness, No injuries, No pain, No limits.If you had the power to heal, what would you do?For fifteen-year-old Ada being able to heal others feels more like a curse than a gift. When she learns of the mystery surrounding her mother's disappearance, and sees the indifference of so-called friends, she sets out for Paris to find her.The power to heal protects her, but also has her hunted by a man who sees her as his tree of life. Ada soon realizes her true power is her will to survive, and that her only chance at freedom is to become the best at escaping.Along with action and adventure, Ada, Legend of a Healer also brings to light numerous philosophical issues. Like many middle and high school girls, Ada is introduced to society's harsh realities at a young age, so she's built a wall of anger to strengthen her self reliance, to survive. Despite the pressure and demands, Ada refuses to sacrifice her self-worth, and in this she discovers that a strong will overcomes all obstacles.I was asked, "why the questions at the back of the book?"My answer: Because Girls Like to Think.R.A.
