A boy with the power to heal. A world too broken to understand. A gift that could save lives or destroy him. Telly D. Young has always lived in the shadows. Born with a supernatural ability to heal with a single touch, he's been hidden away by his parents in the quiet mountain town of Alder Bend. But everything changes when a dying girl suddenly rises to her feet. Word spreads. Whispers turn into fear. And Telly can no longer stay invisible. As the world takes notice, Telly must confront the truth about his gift: is it a divine blessing, a scientific anomaly, or something far more dangerous? What This Story Delivers: • A gripping Christian supernatural thriller filled with faith, mystery, and high-stakes suspense • A young, gifted protagonist wrestling with identity, purpose, and the heavy burden of a miraculous power • A richly atmospheric small-town setting filled with secrets, tension, and unforgettable characters • A fast-paced narrative exploring the line between spirituality, science, and destiny Perfect For Readers Who Enjoy: • Christian fiction with supernatural or sci-fi elements • Stories about gifted children navigating dangerous abilities • Rural mystery settings with emotional depth • Thrillers that challenge faith, fear, and the unknown Why This Book Stands Out: The Touch of Telly D. Young isn't just about miracles; it's about the cost of carrying a gift the world isn't ready for. As strangers arrive seeking hope, answers, or control, Telly must decide whether to keep hiding or embrace the destiny waiting for him. Every touch brings healing. Every healing brings consequences. And every choice pulls him closer to a truth that could change everything. An unforgettable blend of faith, suspense, and supernatural intrigue, this novel is perfect for readers who crave Christian science fiction that inspires, challenges, and stays with them long after the final page. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ More of a thriller with sci-fi elements. Really good read. I'm not sure what I expected when I picked this up. Sci-fi or fantasy? Just hoped for a bit of light distraction. Totally surprised me. Writing style is fantastic - totally engaged from the first few lines. The characters are solid and believable. I was completely immersed in it for the 4 hours it took to read - couldn't put it down. Been a while since a book held me so completely. There are many comparisons that could be made to other books and storylines but just as you feel that the story is starting to get generic, it goes of on a new tack. Keeps you on your toes all the way through . Even though the super hero / Marvel type trope seems to be the most obvious comparison, it doesn't feel so much about the powers but more about the alienation and unbelonging. This book really took me back to the first sci-fi book I was given to read - Slan by Cifford Simak . It really had that same feel. It's more of a thriller with some sci-fi elements. I'd love to try and give you an age group that would be drawn to this but I'm 68 and I loved it and I recommended it to my Grand-daughter so there is no pigeon hole for this one. - Amazon Customer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I enjoyed the read This book is a captivating supernatural thriller that explores the moral dilemmas of a young boy with healing powers. Telly's journey from hiding his miraculous gift to facing the world's scrutiny is both gripping and thought-provoking. With themes of faith , identity , and sacrifice , this book invites readers to consider the cost of great power while keeping them on the edge of their seats.
