Father is...traditional, I regret to admit. Does not believe women should work at all, though I will shortly be writing a letter to my future husband regarding the matter. It's such a strange thought, really, To think that I am expected to wed a man I've not once spoken to yet in my life. If Father does hold him and his family in such great regard, perhaps he will listen if my future husband is amenable.

Still. Father has given me a deadline for marriage, and I intend to keep it, and wish to spend my time before, and hopefully in the earlier years, as a healer. Something to occupy myself. He really shouldn't have any objections. Healing is a charitable sort of pursuit, and the money coming from it can be set aside. A little savings is a good thing.

In your field, you surely run across a variety of interesting tales. How did you decide on your specialty?
