About This Book

A hungry street child in Jerusalem navigates daily survival amid beggars, merchants, and the city’s gates until a chance confrontation with a mysterious stranger alters his course. The plot traces his exposure to healing and spiritual conflict, encounters that provoke guilt, loyalty tests, and moments of tenderness. Relationships with authority figures and a love interest complicate his loyalties and prompt moral decisions. Action shifts from crowded streets and palace gardens to lakeside scenes, and concludes with personal change, forgiveness, and a reconfigured place within his community.
