Johnston is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set in the time of Jesus, it tells the story of an extraordinary boy named Joel, who grapples with his physical disabilities while witnessing the life and miracles of Christ. Through Joel's perspective, readers gain insight into the culture and challenges of that era, highlighting themes of compassion, resilience, and the yearning for redemption and revenge. The opening of "Joel: A Boy of Galilee" introduces readers to Joel, an eleven-year-old boy living in Capernaum, who struggles with a twisted leg and feelings of isolation among able-bodied peers. As he observes the bustling market and the interactions of townsfolk, Joel's yearning for friendship and a sense of belonging is palpable. He experiences moments of both heartbreak, as he is excluded from play by his peers, and glimmers of hope, especially through his friendship with Rabbi Phineas. The narrative sets the stage for Joel’s emotional journey as he transitions from a life filled with resentment towards his childhood tormentor, Rehum, to a path that intertwines with the significant events of his time, particularly the miracles and teachings of Jesus.
