I have also submitted Brigid's Charge by Cynthia Lamb. This might be a bit
tougher to validate, as there are many purposely mispelled words in the text.
There is also a lot of slang. I had a sighted person check over some of the
mispellings to make sure Kurzy hadn't fowled up, but the scan itself is clean.

Synopsis:
... is the story of one young woman's journey as she reconciles what she feels
with what she was taught about healing and pagan rituals passed down through
millenia. When Deborah Leeds emigrates to colonial America, she courageously
seeks to obey Brigid's charge to heal. But this was a paradoxical time, when
female healers were relied upon in rural areas without doctors. Yet that same
skill could bring about a different kind of charge-witchcraft. Love, loyalty,
and the threat of destruction compete with Deborah's spiritual values and the
life she has established in the New World.

Who can heal, but one who has healed herself?
Who can know, but one who has asked and sought?
Who can lead, but one who has traveled the way?
