Publisher's summary

Before Christ called her daughter...

Before she stole healing by touching the hem of his garment...

Elianna is a young girl crushed by guilt. After her only brother is killed while in her care, Elianna tries to earn forgiveness by working for her father's textile trade and caring for her family. When another tragedy places Elianna in sole charge of the business, her talent for design brings enormous success but never the absolution she longs for. As her world unravels, she breaks off her betrothal to the only man she will ever love. Then illness strikes, isolating Elianna from everyone, stripping everything she has left.

No physician can cure her. No end is in sight. Until she hears whispers of a man whose mere touch can heal. After so many years of suffering and disappointment, is it possible that one man could redeem the wounds of body...and soul?

Beautiful story. Much to ponder......

Beautiful story that will touch the hearts of many who share Elianna's struggles with self - worth, feelings of guilt and unreturned love from a parent or just plain rejection.
although one feels at times that the course of her life is unrealistically cruel, it is completely possible for some to suffer so much heartache. The lessons hidden in thus book, however leaves one thinking and pondering long after the book is finished.

Amazing! This book kept me engaged the whole time.

I hurt and loved with her. I wanted healing and understanding with her. It was easy to see out of her eyes. What an amazing journey.

Excellent voice, excellent story.

Just what I was looking for... a clean, engaging story that kept me entertained and emotionally involved. With the added bonus of some biblical principles and historically accurate pieces thrown in to make it seem familiar. I really enjoyed this narrator's voice as well. She was an excellent choice! I'll be reading more from this author for sure!

Different take on old story

This was a total surprise to me, loved the new twist on an old story. I never would of thought of it that way but this truly opened my eyes anew to some of the Jewish customs, and how they have kept to those beliefs for generations. A love song Roy at it's best telling. Loved the narrator, her voice was such a delight to look listen to. Bravo!!!!
