Doctor Cotton

By Stephen Barrett

A very special boy with the power to heal is born at San Francisco's Lands End one night during a meteor shower. Four years later he changes forever the lives of three women: Alberta, an eighty-year-old woman living a modest life with her devoted dog who raises the abandoned boy, creating a love beyond measure; LaDonna, a woman crippled by fear escaping an abusive marriage in the Ozarks, who unlocks a magical power within, learning to love herself in the process; and Delia, a Beverly Hills media mogul, guided by the mischievous ghost of her grandmother, who sets out on a journey to find the boy and finds herself instead.
DOCTOR COTTON is a timeless fable of Magical Realism, where the supernatural coexists with the seemingly ordinary, weaving a miraculous tale of redemption, salvation and ultimately what it means to be loved.
