Dove Review

The young teenage boy David tries to find answers to his questions about a person’s soul. As he studies nature, people around him and even those at church to learn about the soul, his search leads him to more questions regarding life, death, faith and the hereafter.

This story written by the award-winning John Updike is about growing up and trying to make an enlightened decision about the great questions of life. Is there is answer for every question? David wants to know.

This short story, original aired on PBS, is awarded the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for all ages.
