Without Fear: Children of the New World — Book One

How do you understand the value of something you've never lost?Elias was born in the earthly Paradise - a world without sickness, without fear, without death. He has never grieved, never said goodbye, never known a sleepless night of dread. His is a perfect life. And for that reason, an incomplete one.Then one spring morning, a weeping woman appears at the edge of his orchard. Miriam has returned from a century of tears - from a world where everything beautiful was shadowed by loss, where every goodbye might be the last. What she has to teach Elias cannot be learned from books. It can only be learned by sitting beside someone who has lost everything, and still chooses to hope.Through Miriam, and through a soldier who arrived with clenched fists, an atheist who spent his life searching for an equation and found a will, a little girl with no name and no past, and a man who believes he has no right to be saved - Elias learns to see the light he was born into. And to understand what it cost.Without Fear is a literary novel about loss, healing, and a love greater than we deserve. A story for anyone who is waiting for someone. For anyone who has stopped hoping. For anyone who has ever wondered whether the pain of the world could possibly have a meaning - and whether that meaning might be worth it.Book One of the Children of the New World series.
