When five-year-old Steven Heard's father dies on Christmas morning, his struggle with those who hate him accelerates. Despite having unique connections to the heavens, larger-than-life talent, and intermittent memories of his time before birth, Steven feels the diametrically opposed demands of both love and fear as he endures seasons of desperation and repeatedly asks, "Why?" Why does his life need to be so hard? Why is he dominated by the necessity of subsistence? Why doesn't he have peace after achieving financial freedom? Why can't he simply live without fear or enemies? Stripped of all family support and seemingly alone with both injury and misery, he must find a way to stand firm and wait for that destiny which God had promised.
