Joy Richards grew up in Nottingham, England, but now lives in the Sunshine Coast hinterland of Queensland, Australia. Her short stories have been broadcast and published in magazines and an anthology.
The Healer’s Daughter is Joy’s first novel and the first book in The Barnsbridge Series. All books in this series are stand-alone novels but linked by unity of time and place. They explore one of the most tumultuous and far-reaching periods in history: a dangerous, pivotal time when England changed and changed forever.
