    About this ebook

    In the last days when Jesus Christ is in Jerusalem, two twelve-year-old girls seek desperately to find him so that one of them can be healed. Without their parents' consent, Hannah and Leah set out on their own to find the man who can heal Leah, who is crippled. Their journey is a dangerous one for two girls on their own, and they follow Jesus from city to city, hoping for his healing touch. At last, they arrive in Jerusalem, where Jesus will be crucified. But are they too late? In their search for a miracle, the two best friends learn about love, faith, and forgiveness.

    I write for mostly for teens and sometimes for adults. Some of the teen fiction is Christian, and my other fiction is historical fiction. The next book uploaded will be another adventure with Kacey and her friends. I hope some of you will enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoy writing them.

      Leah picked up her playing piece and hopped it over several others on the checkered mat.

      Ha! I beat you! Third game in a row!

      That’s not fair! cried Hannah, I wasn’t finished making my move yet!

      No, you let go of your piece. That means you were finished and then it was my turn! It’s a fair game!

      Hannah sighed, knowing her friend was right. She just hated losing.

      Hannah! Time to come home now! a voice called.

      Yes, Mama! I’m coming! Hannah called back. Leah looked disappointed, saying, Do you have to go right now?

      Yes, you know I do! But I’ll be back tomorrow. I have to go into the fields to gather flax. Do you want to come with me? Flax was a plant that had many useful purposes.

      Leah’s eyes lit up, and then she looked down at her crippled legs, folded aside at an awkward angle. Before she could answer, Hannah said cheerfully,

      You can ride Buttercup!

      Leah smiled, All right! Come and get me as soon as you can!

      I will; as soon as I finish my chores for Mama. See you tomorrow, Leah!

      Bye, Hannah!

      Leah watched as her friend dashed off. Leah and Hannah grew up living next door to each other in a small village along the Jordan River, and they were best friends. Then two years ago, a plague nearly killed Leah, and she was sick for a long time. When she was well enough for visitors, Hannah came every day. Leah grew stronger but she could no longer walk without support. Her father made her two wooden crutches which she learned to use with Hannah’s help. She still remained very weak, and there were times that her mother still feared that Leah was still not over her sickness.

      But Hannah didn’t seem to mind playing games and doing things that Leah could do. Leah often thought how lucky she was to have a good friend like Hannah, and felt she would do anything for her.

      Leah hobbled inside the house where her three sisters were getting ready for bed. Tonight, after saying her
