The Healer's Touch
“Boots trudged behind Lark, her scuffed red boots leaving tracks in the melting slush.
“My sister won’t know a thing about this if you don’t blab.” Lark paused to catch her breath. If her map served her right, the Youngers all lived out this way. They were a hardy bunch to be sure. If she and Boots could get close enough to recognize features she figured she could pretty well tell if Joseph was one of them. There would be similarities—bold noses, hair color and growth patterns, ruddy complexions..., the set of a jaw or a wide mouth and big teeth or a small mouth and no teeth. The wounded stranger was downright fine-looking, clean, and had a good strong set of even white teeth.
