Charlie is all by himself and feeling very overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done. Charlies lives with his grandpa on a small ranch in Colorado Territory. Right now his grandpa is sick, he went to sleep and hasn't woken up yet. Charlie needs to figure out how to get the things they will need to get through the winter, but doesn't know how to do so many of the things that are necessary. On one excursion out to find game Charlie is attacked by a bear. He makes it back to the cabin, but is afraid he won't make it through the next couple of days. He cries out to God in his desperation.
Then a mysterious stranger by the name of Jess shows up to help. He brings a sense of peace and security to the small boy. He helps Charlie cope with his fears and concerns. He explains how God heard his prayers even though it felt like he wasn't listening.
This is a wonderful touching story. At first I wasn't sure I would like it. The the story grabbed my attention and I gotten wrapped up in the future of this forlorn little boy.
