An 85-year saga of loss and triumph that brings two people together in their search for lasting peace. Ted HowardÂs life unravels in 1914 when, at the age of 11, he and his younger brothers are dumped at a Seattle orphanage. His emotional torment drives him to escape and hop a boxcar to spend the ensuing years searching for his father and an elusive feeling of acceptance. The search takes him throughout the West, later returning to Seattle with a new challenge: alcoholism. In old Montana, Grace WatsonÂs life takes an about-face when her father returns from World War I a changed manÂabusive and angry. It creates a difficult childhood for her that eventually forces her to live on her own in Seattle, working long hours just to stay alive. The two meet and marry, determined to establish a better life. But the abuse of their troubled youth only drives them deeper into alcoholism and self-deprecation. The answer to the peace and happiness theyÂve longed for comes when a coworker shares his faith with Ted and explains how God can bring genuine love and acceptance into his life. Ted and Grace establish a new direction that promises to bring them long-sought fulfillment.
