Like the previous book in the series, this one was rather predictable (although a couple of things at the end surprised me). We spend a lot of time with the lepers in the valley of Mak'ob—I wonder if they shall return in future books. In all, a heart-wrenching and heart-warming story.
These authors have written quite a few books together and also some independently. The book is well written, set in biblical times and deals with lepers, some of whom find Jesus and are healed.
