Lochesh never imagined his life would be defined by a single scratch.
Born into a humble farming family outside Capernaum, he dreams of little more than working the land beside his father, preserving his family's legacy, and one day building a future with the girl he loves. But when a mysterious illness begins to consume his body, those dreams slowly unravel.
As the years pass, the disease steals everything.
His strength.
His voice.
His future.
Even the people he loves begin to fear what he has become.
Driven from society and condemned to a life of isolation, Lochesh struggles to understand why God has allowed such suffering. Has he been cursed? Forgotten? Punished? Or is there purpose hidden within his pain?
When whispers begin to spread throughout Galilee about a wandering teacher named Jesus-a man said to heal the blind, restore the crippled, and cleanse lepers-Lochesh faces a choice that could change everything.
Risk one final journey in search of hope...
Or surrender to despair.
Inspired by the brief but powerful account found in Luke 5:12-14, Lochesh transforms one of Scripture's unnamed figures into an unforgettable story of faith, loss, redemption, and the life-changing power of Christ's touch.
For readers who enjoy the works of Angela Hunt, Tessa Afshar, Francine Rivers, and biblical historical fiction rich in historical detail and spiritual depth, Lochesh offers a moving reminder that no life is beyond the reach of God's grace.
One touch changed his body. One encounter changed his soul.
