This is an inspiring and well-written manuscript featuring a protagonist named Kris Kivi (Kivi being a Finnish name). He is a street singer of gospel songs and is eking out a living although he is behind in his rent. We learn from the manuscript that a wrong-way truck driver was responsible for an accident which took his wife Annie, son Derek and daughter Heather. Kris was the only survivor. He blames himself although there was nothing he could have done. This, along with him losing his job due to the economy, has pushed Kris to the limits during a time of severe testing of his Christian faith.

Some people come into his life which influence him in positive ways, including a woman named Rebecca and a pastor named Eric. Kris also deals with some punks who rob him of his rent money and threaten him. One thug has a heart and Kris, who sees him again, works on him, trying to get him to see his potential and his need for the Lord.

This motivational story includes themes of friendship, loyalty, and perseverance during difficult times. There are some shady characters in the story, and it has some Christians who don’t act the way they should yet they do change in the end. We think this would make a wonderful TV movie and we wish the author well in his endeavors. Five Doves all the way on this manuscript! Inspiring!
