Here I Am

Inspired by real events, Here I Am is a spirit-led story of true, unconditional love and faith.
In the late '50s, when his parents abruptly went to prison, young Joey goes to live with his loving grandparents in Middle Tennessee. Motivated to earn his keep, Joey is eager to get to work and not afraid to get his hands dirty, like his Papa.
Upon entering a new school, he meets the girl of his dreams and a circle of friends he bonds with over football, vowing to be friends forever. But as the Bible says, there is a season for everything.
Life's obstacles, war, hardship, and a turn of events lead to contention and hard feelings, but God works in unusual ways. What the devil tears down, God builds back up in miraculous ways. Through faith and love, beauty can come from pain.
This heartwarming journey through life will bring a roller coaster of laughter, tears, joy, and praise for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
I truly hope this story is as much of a blessing for you to read as it was for me to write.
