You can't stop rooting for Lee Fitts. They say he had such potential. Then after that morning, he became mostly a survivor, traumatized by a horror that took so many innocent lives. As he tries to live on, his limitations make him what forgiveness, compassion, and honesty are all about. But he soon learns he is in a world where one clearly guided by these traits is easy prey. A woman sharing an important link to that morning commits herself to Lee's recovery. A night at a homeless shelter gives Lee the ability to forgive the villain who has haunted him all these years. And a pastor, wrestling with problems of his own, affords Lee the chance at redemption for himself and his father.
