Author: Patricia Ferguson
Violet Dimond, the Holy Terror, has delivered many of the town children - and often their children - in her capacity as handywoman. But Violets calling is dying out as, with medicines advances, the good old ways are no longer good enough. Grace, Violets adopted daughter, is a symbol of change herself.

But Violets calling is dying out as, with medicines advances, the good old ways are no longer good enough. Grace, Violets adopted daughter, is a symbol of change herself. In the place where she has grown up and everyone knows her, she is accepted, though most of the locals never before saw a girl with skin that colour. For Violet and Grace the coming war will bring more upheaval into their lives: can they endure it, or will they, like so many, be swept aside by historys tide?
