Life is good.
He has a wonderful close-knit family.
His Dad teaches at the town's middle school.
His Mom is a homemaker who also volunteers at Timmy's school, at their church, and in and around the community.
Timmy's older sister, Lindy, is a freshman in college, and his brother, Matt, is a junior in high school.
Timmy also enjoys a special relationship with his maternal grandparents, who live close by and with whom he spends a considerable amount of time.
When an unexpected tragedy strikes the family, Timmy's world is shattered.
It is only through the unconditional love from his family and the grace from a faithful and loving God that Timmy is able to re-build his world.
