Fifteen year old, Matt Collins, loved his dad, Tommy, who was wounded at Iwo Jima. His dad loved watching Matt run cross country track. Tommy always attended the Bethel Baptist Church service with his family. Now Matt questions why God let a man like his father die in a horrible car wreck caused by a drunk driver. Why did God allow a drunk to kill his father? This story is told through Matt....his suffering and grief and disappointment in the Lord for taking his dad away. He is questioning "why." In the meantime, a new family move in next door. The boy, Matt's age, Wade Hampton, suffers from Cerebral Palsy. Wade tries to befriend Matt but Matt doesn't want anything to do with the stuttering newcomer who wants to be a preacher when he grows up. Matt also sees that bullies pick on Wade at school, yet he has the God given strength to over-come....just like his dad did. Will Wade help Matt see the light?
