An encounter with Mae, a mysterious Gullah woman, takes him into magical adventures covering almost 3 centuries based in the landmarks of his hometown. The sights, sounds, history, and smells of Savannah are irresistible, and qualify the town as a full-fledged character in this story.

During one of these walkabouts, he meets the biracial healer Ann on the grounds of the Bethesda orphanage on the Savannah coast in 1757. When he is faced with saving the Habersham family from a raging fever, Ann leads him to an understanding of her particular blend of healing. She is a product of her mother's Gullah hoodoo system brought from West Africa and her Indigenous American father's skills using the Great Spirit's natural gifts.The urgency to save the Habersham family in the big house is then compounded by the realization that there is a large infirmary full of orphaned children with the fever. Ann holds the key to treating them, but to accept her truths he must first fully embrace the West African healing tradition, including the fire ritual. His way is further narrowed by the need to appease the spirit of each living thing as explained to Ann by her father. This leads to an internal journey guided by the doctor's experiences of the power of empathy with his patients and his own father. He wanders among stories from practice and childhood experiences, and finally Ann provides the needed direction. His traditional training as a family doctor might qualify him as a hoodoo doctor and his Catholic upbringing provides the needed convergence for these two colleagues to connect on a spiritual level. Their collaboration starts slowly and builds to a surprising climax with the intertwining of all 3 healing traditions.

Battle with schizophrenia Suhasinis victory
The whole idea behind writing the book on schizophrenia is, there is ignorance regarding the illness. People think all mental illnesses are alike, whereas every illness requires different treatment. Don't shun people with mental illness. Such people are capable of living normal life after the treatment. We need to show love, compassion and patience. The book will open discussion about mental health. Even if one person sees something positive in the story, it will bring about change in the society. I hope to see a positive change in society. People change their perspective after reading the book.
Arrowsmith
Winner of the 1926 Pulitzer Prize, Arrowsmith by American author Sinclair Lewis is known to be one of the first novels on the culture of science, using both satire and tragedy to explore medical and scientific themes. In this novel, Lewis writes sharp social criticism, wicked humor, and the vain reality of drugs, public health, and immunology-and those who strive for fame and fortune within this world. Arrowsmith is the story of Martin Arrowsmith, a medical student at the University of Winnemac, who falls in love with both a woman and with science. As he meets his mentor, German professor and science researcher Max Gottlieb, he also meets his wife Leora Tozer, a nurse. When Arrowsmith graduates from university, however, he is forced to abandon his love of science in order to support his family. As he jumps from occupation to occupation, getting twisted up in political affairs as well as romantic affairs, Arrowsmith is finally recognized by Gottlieb for a scientific paper he has written and is offered a job at a research institution in New York. But when Arrowsmith discovers a phage that can help save a Caribbean Island from an outbreak of bubonic plague, Arrowsmith finds himself with a decision to make: take the phage and study it in order to further science, or abandon his scientific values to save the island. With tragic romances, philosophic debate, and the morality of human flaws, Lewis' Arrowsmith is a timeless novel that remains relevant to society today.
