This is the story of a boy on the edge of adulthood whose life has been episodes of hopelessness following hopelessness in a sluggish parade through his life. It is the story of a small boy whose presence in his father's life has been a target for aggression. And it is the story of a man - imperfect, but with the grace of god on his life - who becomes the instrument of a loving and gracious God in the boy's lives and brings hope and joy to each boy.
