The Healing Basket, set in northern New Mexico in the 1970s, is about an older woman, Nevaeh, and a young girl, Mary Grace, who befriend one another. Nevaeh teaches Mary Grace how to cope with sorrow by telling stories about mementos she keeps in a basket. Together, they celebrate their time and learn that we exist through memories left behind. Mary Grace accepts the things she cannot change as an opportunity to build her hope, her faith, her strength, and her understanding about why she is on this journey. Nevaeh helps Mary Grace see the spirit of our loved ones in special moments that are embraced and remembered. When Nevaeh shares the essence of her life in The Healing Basket Mary Grace learns her greatest lesson. It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Ultimately, love never dies.
