She Touched the Hem

For twelve long years, the woman with the issue of blood carried pain that affected every part of her life. She spent her strength, her resources, and her hope searching for relief, yet her suffering continued. Then she heard about Jesus. Pressing through the crowd, she reached for the hem of His garment, believing that one touch could change everything. Jesus stopped, called her forward, and spoke a word that restored more than her body. He called her daughter.

She Touched the Hem: He Called Her Daughter is written for the woman who has spent years carrying emotional pain, rejection, fear, shame, disappointment, loneliness, or exhaustion while continuing to show up for everyone around her. Through the biblical story of the woman who touched Jesus, Elizabeth Licha Rivera walks beside the reader with personal reflections, encouragement, Scripture, and practical steps toward healing.

This book invites women to release what they have been holding inside, seek help, challenge the words that wounded them, return to the dreams they abandoned, and believe that their lives still carry purpose. It is a reminder that Jesus sees the woman hidden in the crowd, understands the suffering others may overlook, and welcomes her without judgment.

Your pain does not have to become your permanent identity. You can come out of hiding, reach toward Christ, and begin the journey back to hope, faith, healing, and the woman God created you to be.
