Jaliyah is trapped in an arranged marriage, but her heart belongs to another. Though her family's cloth trade has brought her wealth, she finds little joy in a life controlled by her overbearing mother and a husband who has long kept his distance. When her old love reappears, Jaliyah surrenders to sin in a moment of weakness.

Years later, convinced that her daughter Yara is bound by an unclean spirit, Jaliyah searches desperately for healing, wondering if her own sin has brought this suffering upon her innocent child. When rumors reach her of a Jewish teacher who heals what seems beyond restoring, she does everything she can to bring her daughter to him. But can she find mercy and true deliverance in him?

Shining a light on the little-known story of the Syrophoenician woman from the New Testament, Jill Eileen Smith brings the Bible to life through the eyes of someone forever changed by an encounter with Jesus.
