To those whom much is given; sometimes too much is asked in return. If you could cure illness with a simple touch, would you? Does your answer change if it’s for a family member versus a friend? What about a total stranger? Imagine being faced with this type of dilemma everyday. Zoë has never felt the joy a simple touch can bring.

From the moment of her birth, someone else’s touch has always brought her great pain and sorrow. Born a true empath Zoë must shelter herself from the world around her. Her only wish is to be able to live a normal life and feel the touch of another human without fear or pain. Chased from state to state by a reporter who wants to expose Zoë’s abilities to the world as a miracle cure, Zoë and her family must always look over their shoulders never knowing a moments peace. Never knowing true love.

From the Author: Having had a near death experience myself I first set out to write about that experience. As I researched near death experiences I began to wonder about those who claimed to be able to heal others but not themselves.As I researched faith healers I remembered the story of Jesus being touched by a woman in a crowd of people and asking, who touched Him. Then I began to wonder, If Jesus could be caught off guard and actually feel a force leave Him, what would it be like if someone actually did have the power to heal with a single touch? Would it be a blessing or a curse? My novel “Amazing Grace” explores that question.
