Description

Hannah Sinclaire, the teenage daughter of a fiercely conservative Southern preacher, contracts AIDS through a one-time sexual encounter with the local playboy. Hannah's fall and illness marks her as the embodiment of what her father and his rising social organization, People for a Better America, are fighting against. Shunned and rejected as immoral, damned, and deserving of death, she is put away in a hospice for HIV and AIDS patients. Hannah's younger sister, her only support, pledges to resist their father's pressure to let ""the sinner"" bear the consequences of her choices ""outside the camp,"" but quickly disappears from Hannah's side. Wasted in body and spirit, and devoid of the company of ""good people,"" Hannah struggles to find life, love, and healing. ""The Cure speaks the message of how human kindness and divine love enters into broken hearts and lives with healing power. The story of Hannah shows how those whom society, including religious community, may reject and scorn, God embraces through salvation in his Son Jesus."" --Ellen Dykas, co-author of Sexual Sanity for Women: Healing from Sexual and Relational Brokenness, and Women's Ministry Leader, Harvest USA, Philadelphia. ""This short novella is a compelling read, each page leaves you wanting more. Krista writes in an honest, provocative, and thoughtful way that is refreshing and challenging. The Cure touches on areas of pain, prejudice, misconceptions, hope, and healing. This will be an important 'eye opening' read for many. Read it with an open heart and an open mind and see where it takes you."" --Carolyn Skinner, Founder and Leader, Third Space Ministries, London. ""The Cure follows the noble tradition of Christian writers making the promises of the gospel illuminated through a fictional story. As you read about Hannah Sinclaire, about her choices, her emotions, and her struggles, you will discover The Cure as a beautiful illustration of the words of Jesus Christ: 'I am the resurrection and the life, whoever believes in me, though he die, yet he shall live.'"" --Bogdan Witecki, Librarian, Redeemer Seminary, Dallas. Krista White was born in California now resides in Dallas, TX. She is the author of educational books on health, history, and literature. She ministers to women in professional sports from different countries and cultural backgrounds all around the world.
