The Cole Family Trilogy, penned by Noah Gordon, is a captivating series that follows the journey of the Cole family across three generations. The series comprises three novels: "The Physician," "Shaman," and "Matters of Choice." In "The Physician," we meet Rob Cole, a young orphan who discovers his gift for healing. His journey takes him from England to Persia, where he learns the secrets of ancient medicine and becomes a renowned physician. "Shaman" introduces us to Rob's grandson, Robert, who grows up in the Scottish Highlands during the 17th century. Faced with the loss of his family, Robert embarks on a journey to understand the healing practices of the past, eventually becoming a shaman and bridging the gap between the old and new worlds. The final installment, "Matters of Choice," follows Robert's son, also named Noah, as he navigates the complexities of the modern world. Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, Noah must reconcile his family's traditional healing practices with the rapidly advancing field of modern medicine. Throughout the trilogy, Gordon masterfully weaves historical detail, vivid settings, and compelling characters to create an immersive and thought-provoking series that explores the timeless themes of healing, tradition, and the human spirit...
