About this book

From the author's family tree, this book is a true story of how the author's ancestor Clara Barton had a talent for healing creatures and how Clara's brother Davie reminded her of her talent and predicted she would be a great lady. Clara Barton grew up to be a famous Civil War nurse but grew up as a girl with a lisp, whose talent for healing was encouraged by her doting older brother Davie.
