Description

Bad New Age mother seeks miracle cure in Germany but encounters her past with an aloe plant instead.

A mother abandons her family in California to pursue a miracle cure in Munich. Once she gets there, however, she wonders if she might have already died. Bedridden with a terminal diagnosis, memories, nurses, immoral doctors, foreign television broadcasts, and phone calls from children intrude upon her consciousness. An aloe plant called Madame Blavatsky is her primary companion.

The Healing Circle explores the collision of past memories with the present, set against an introspective backdrop enriched with unusual characters and surprising moments of clarity.
