About this listen

A boy who can heal with a touch.

A town that fears what it doesn’t understand.

A gift that demands a price.

Telly D. Young has spent his entire life hidden from the world. Born with the impossible ability to heal any wound with a single touch, his parents have kept him tucked away in the quiet mountain town of Alder Bend—safe, unseen, and forgotten.

Until the day a dying girl rises to her feet.

The miracle ignites the town like a spark in dry timber. Whispers turn to suspicion. Faith turns to fear. And Telly’s secret becomes impossible to contain.

As strangers flood into Alder Bend—some desperate for healing, others hungry for control—Telly begins to understand the truth about his power: every healing takes something from him… and every miracle leaves a mark.

Now, with the world closing in, Telly must decide whether his gift is a blessing, a curse, or something far more dangerous than anyone realizes.

Because the power to save a life always comes with a cost.

And someone, somewhere, is keeping score.
