She is forced to leave to live in exile in the Valley of Sorrows where all the lepers reside until they die.

Six years has passed since Lily stumbled into the Valley scared and alone. Now rumors abound that a great healer has been performing miracles. Some people are beginning to come around in support of and belief in Jesus, but some of the most powerful question this newcomer who is shaking the establishment.
