The story of what happens when one boy's walk of faith crosses paths
with one man's search for meaning-the resulting transformational
journey touches the lives of everyone around them. Tyler Doherty is an
extraordinary eight-year-old boy. Surrounded by a loving family and
community, and armed with the courage of his faith, he faces his daily
battle against cancer with bravery and grace. To Tyler, God is a
friend, a teacher and the ultimate pen pal-Tyler's prayers take the
form of letters, which he composes and mails on a daily basis. The
letters find their way into the hands of Brady McDaniels, a beleaguered
postman standing at a crossroads in his life. At first, he is confused
and conflicted over what to do with the letters. But the decision he
ultimately makes becomes a testament to the quiet power of one boy's
shining spirit and unshakable faith.
