She dazzles them with the strength of her gift, strong enough that she's able to bend a beam of laser light. Edna goes to a university, where two scientists want to study her abilities. Edna's father John, accuses her of being a whore for sleeping with Cal, ordering her off his property. Cal begins to fear her power, and he eventually walks out on her after an argument. Cal's father, a zealot, even suggests her powers are satanic. But some feel apprehensive about her power, since it doesn't necessarily involve preaching the gospel. It isn't long before Edna's healing people daily. With her abilities becoming known, townsfolk bring Cal Carpenter, an attractive young man stabbed in a barfight, for Edna's healing touch. Edna touches her own crippled legs, gradually able to walk without braces or crutches. Grandmother Pearl tells her of a woman she once knew who, after a similar back from death experience, returned with the power to heal. Edna actually feels the heat in her own hand. While at a family barbecue, Edna touches a little girl who has a serious nosebleed, seeming to stop the ordinarily serious bleeding with her touch. Devastated, Edna goes home to Texas to recuperate, reuniting with her beloved grandmother Pearl and her hard, loveless father, John Harper. She's also suffered permanent spinal damage and must walk with braces and crutches. Apparently, she died, but has come back to life. Both are killed, but Edna, after seeing a great white light and a mysterious group of people, wakes up in a hospital. While the two are out driving, they have a terrible accident.
