I like the way you divided up the story between the two main characters. It makes it easy to follow along. I also like the references to early medicine and how the herbs and roots are helpful in the right combinations.

This reminds me of that say, sticks and stones may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me :) I am so far behind in reviewing but is desperately trying to catch up.

We are in the same boat... I'm below decks!

This is a good addition to you book. These times were horrid for mentally ill people and special need children. I've read where mothers were sometimes blamed for having had sex with demons producing deformed offspring. Also during martin Luther's time they believed in changelings and religious leaders advised the father to smother the child when the mother was away to prevent further contamination of the family.
ignorance is so dangerous and when mixed with religious it is the worse of all.

It's scary especially when many of the same attitudes exist. They're just dressed in different more gentile clothing now. I do want to touch on all of that, but I don't want to make it a witch burning tale. I just want those elements, the dark ages, fanaticism as well as the other side where there was treatment like music therapy and exercise being used for the mentally ill. Still trying to maintain a story and not let it be overwhelmed by issues.

That is wise. Subtle teaching is always more effective.

I enjoyed this immensely. Fascinating and well written. I anxiously await the next post. Superb work with this one. I think I may have found one nit you might want to look at:
contact thought...I think 'thought' should be 'though'...

Michael: I like how Julie knows the heart of Loepard being evil and killing people. You make us wonder what kind of herbs the old lady puts into the tea with the mushrooms. Shall we sip some tea with her? What advice does she give?
First paragraph of Julie, the word thought should be changed. Good story writing!

This genre of writing reminds me of another author and another story, but I can't quite put my finger on it, yet. But I will. Am still trying to think of a good Roman name for auntie :) Loren

Interesting that Valerius is learning the properties of the medicinal plants and progressing in his knowledge, while Julia is meeting opposition for her vivid thoughts. Well written and enjoyable chapter. Faye

This is excellent. You have managed to reel me in once again. Love the way that he meets the old lady and begins to learn his craft. Julia's condition is so fadcinating with the background we have. We know where her delusions come from, but no one in her life does. Love it.

It must be unnerving for parents whose children seem to have vivid recollections of one of their former lives. I always find it interesting that anything someone doesn't understand, they deem to be wrong or bad. In the old times, they were possessed or demented. People don't allow much room for differences. We have a neighbor who continually tells us we are strange because we get up so early, go to bed early and don't eat the same thing he does for breakfast. Some people live in very small worlds. Your work continues with my great interest. Thanks for posting. No need to respond. Save yourself some time.

Intriguing close to the chapter, which stems from the great dialogue.
"It's quite refreshing." He commented truthfully. -- Comma after 'refreshing'. Then 'he'
Also, you have 'truthfully' and 'heartily' back to back. Might want to lose one.
