Samantha Crawford is living a storybook life: she’s happily married, she lives on a ranch where she keeps her beloved horse, and the stories she’s told and illustrated since childhood have become published books. When her husband, Billy, is killed in a senseless act of violence, Sam loses her faith and her will to live. But a death-defying encounter with two children leads to a reunion with Joe, her oldest friend. As Sam watches “Papa Joe” care for and love the kids in his under-resourced neighborhood, she begins to realize that no matter life’s circumstances, God’s love is always reaching out to us. Bank Robber to Choir Leader—African-American computer prodigy Joseph Bradford was among the first convicted of robbing a bank by hacking its ATMs. A $200 score—which he returned—landed him in maximum security prison where a religious conversion changed his life. |
