Jerome-Paul remembers spending time as a child watching people walk down the street and making up entire stories based on the brief glance. He believes in the overall goodness of people and uses his writings to help reveal things for what they really are.
If you could cure HIV with a simple touch, would you? What if you had to die the slow, painful death of an AIDS victim to do it? 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.
Author’s Comments:
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.
