The Skeptical Physick (The Stockbridge Series Book 2)

By Gail Avery Halverson

In this gripping follow up to "The Boundary Stone," Lady Catherine Abbott's life takes an unexpected turn when an abused young woman forces her to examine the privileges of 17th century English society, the roles of women and her own place in the world.

Determined to discover the mysteries of the human body, daring physick, Simon McKensie, fights once more against superstition, ignorance and the vast, unknown boundaries of science when he creates a remarkable experiment that could change the very course of medicine itself.

Set against the sweeping backdrop of both the Great Fire of London and the extraordinary discoveries of the Scientific Revolution, Simon and Catherine together must face the ruinous consequences of his fierce, intellectual curiosity and his dangerous thirst for knowledge.

"The Skeptical Physick" is a Chaucer Award winner for historical fiction and a Chatelaine Award Grand Prize winner for romantic fiction.
