We never thought your death

III
lieve a just God could. allow good
woman to suffer AS his wife had in
her last illness. The daughter grew
up without benefit of church. Then
her father remarked, and they
moved to a more commodious apart
ment in Manhattan. Veronica S
stepmother was kind, but never
faithful to her new husband. He
died, oblivious of her infldelity, and
not long afterward she was killed
in an accident.
| Veronica was thrust into the world,
with the few dollars her stepmother
had left, and only her stepbrother,
Willie, not exactly an admirable
character, for companionship. She
fell in love with a young publisher
whom she met at the restaurant
where she was cashier. He planned
to divorce his wife and marry her.
Then came the discovery that
changed her whole life-this strange
power to heal by lightly massaging
the afflicted.
The girl tried to ignore this super
natural gift. She was no charlatan,
and she didn't want to cash in on it..
But the word got around and she
was besieged by the helpless. Skep-
| tical doctors came, saw and went
away wondering.
The story reaches climax when
! Veronica is faced with the necessity
of deciding between her personal
life and the public career that has
been forced on her. The book ends
with her decision.
If Veronica is lost in a labyrinth,
Miss Hurst herself seems equally
baff1ed at times. The author is not
too successful in picturing the strug-
gle that swirls within the girl and
around her. Somehow, these epi-
sodes appear more staged than ac-
tual, Veronica more puppet of the
fates than girl fighting for her
own life against bizarre existence
she never dreamed of. While she
does seek medical advice, she never
looks for the spiritual guidance she

she never enters church or asks
religious counsel, or, indeed, makes
much effort to lift the veil herself

some of the characters less directly
concerned with The Hands of

might have come out of Dickens
Willie, too. who has most of the
instincts of a racketeer, is vivid
character. But Veronica's varying
attitudes toward these and the other
characters are never quite plausible.
She seems too often under the inf1u-
ence of the last person who talked
to her to be the firm person the
author evidently projected.
