by Milton C. Chamberlain (Author)

Adelphe seeks neither joy nor happiness, but truth. She's already happy and remarkably unaware that joy is a reality far beyond the simple happiness she knows that's produced by her agreeable circumstances.

Ethnically Spartan Greek, Adelphe's dark sapphire eyes glow with an eager curiosity that hungers for answers; specifically, answers to questions that swirl like seabirds through her village on the western edge of the Sea of Galilee. Who is this itinerant rabbi called Jesus of Nazareth that now wanders around Galilee? Allegedly, he speaks with authority as if he knows the mind of God. Many say he also heals the sick and infirm. Is he the promised Messiah? Will he free Israel from Roman domination under the Emperor Tiberius? Is he the One, or just another messianic pretender preying upon gullible Jewish minds like many have done before?

Walk with Adelphe amid the Jesus-following crowds. Join her struggle to resolve the confused, contradictory, popular opinions about Jesus with what she actually hears him say and sees him do. Experience her chance encounter in one of these crowds with Ahi, a Jewish young man her own age, who is also trying to understand Jesus.

Adelphe and Ahi impress and intrigue each other as soon as they meet. Yet neither thinks, "Love at first sight! Here's my soulmate!" Instead, standing side-by-side listening to Jesus, both are aware of just an excited, silent awe at the sense of connection that each feels from such a chance meeting. Both wonder, "Will this amount to much, or nothing at all?" Join Adelphe and Ahi as they struggle beyond happiness into love, hope, joy, and peace.
