When servant Claire De Peche is chosen as wife by her much-widowed master, she has no choice but to obey. But when her husband is killed during the First Crusade, her in-laws cast her out and keep her beloved son. Desperate and grieving, Claire is taken in by the last of a long line of women healers who go back to the Roman occupation of Britain. Taught to read and make medicines by her mentor, Dame Nonna, Claire soon realizes Nonna is slowly losing her mind. In order to care for Nonna and carry on her healing tradition, Claire submits to a proxy marriage with Nonna's son Palmer, a man she's never met who is serving in the Crusade. Things get really interesting when Palmer comes home to discover a mother who doesn't recognize him anymore, and a wife he never heard of. Haywood Smith weaves Claire and Palmer's story with the actual unsolved murder of William the Conqueror's son, William Rufus, providing plenty of drama, action, historical accuracy,demure romance, and adventure.

As with all best-selling author Haywood Smith's award-winning historical novels, DANGEROUS GIFTS offers strong heroines who are women of faith and resilience, and a satisfying conclusion that has her readers coming back for more.

A Woman Alone in a Dark Time

I wondered if I would like the historical fiction by Haywood Smith since it is such a change from the Red Hat women. I do like it. The protagonist once again makes the point that women seeking an independent life in the medieval period faced a difficult road. Her struggles bring her through loss of her child to her inlaws , finding a way to support herself, and discovering a gift for medical healing and learning are believable and sympathetic. The love story is not rushed and the ending is emotional. Not sorry I read it.

Haywood Smith always writes meaningful characters who touch you. There are a host of them in this book. I thought the pace was a little slow in the first third; however, it quickly picked up and closed with a great ending. The final third of book I truely loved!! It has so many themes that touch one's heart and faith.

The Healing Profession in the Time of Crusades

Reviewed in the United States on 14 June 2013

I've only read one other Haywood Smith book, which I liked, so I was curious as to how she handled a historical novel. Excellent, realistic characters, I could just see that village where the heroine landed. We lived with her as she becomes a healer, growing in her previously-shattered confidence as she becomes more useful to the village people, especially to her teacher Nonny. When Nonny's son comes home physically and mentally ill from the Crusades, we are irretrievably drawn in, and the story that develops is both suspenseful and satisfying at the end. A great serious read, but not for the squeamish.
