| Plot Summary of Touched |
|---|
"The main character of Touched, Dr. Matthew Allen Green, decided his lastest patient, a ninety-eight year old lady, was too close to death to waste his time on. He was wrong. Because of the support, love and kindness, plus a few tools of the trade, as she called them, Matthew Allen learned not only to forgive but to care.
"
