Ricardo Martinez, a talented healer, must make the greatest sacrifice in a fascinating story, “Tumor Rick” by Steven Allen, that is set in Colombia. Although he has extraordinary powers to predict the future, heal the ill, and cleanse his community, he struggles with his terminal illness. Ricardo’s selflessness is brilliant because he cares more about the well-being of others than his own life, which makes the experience emotional. This is an intellectual story and a story of how far love can go, how much one can sacrifice, and what community really means, and the reader is inspired and moved.
