Synopsis
Minister Nick Darrow is the head of a healing center in London, which occupies his weekdays, and leaves his weekends free for his lovely wife, Rosalind. But soon, the minister's idyllic life falls apart, and he is forced to question his beliefs and his own morality before he can achieve personal redemption.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "I can remember exactly when the miracles began. It was when I first met Nicholas Darrow and fell in love with him."
Industry Reviews
"...an absorbing novel of emotional, psychological and spiritual exploration."
New York Times Book Review - Betsy Groban (12/21/1997)
"'The Wonder Worker' is an amazing achievement in a string of unusual and thoughtful novels. Everyday religion has been oddly marginalized in our time, especially the conventional ritual-bound denominations of which Howatch writes. She has a special kind of courage to bring ministers and their calling to center stage, allowing them to err, to fail and to succeed in ragged fragments. In so doing, she not only widens our horizons but also entertains us masterfully."
Washington Post Book World - Brigitte Weeks (12/14/1997)
"[An] eminently readable plum pudding....[W]hile every character displays a level of eccentricity verging on the gothic, Howatch's good-humored tone keeps the whole--just--from collapsing."
