Care Giver

Care Giver leads us through a kaleidoscope of events as a failing old man pens unmailed letters to his lost love from a nursing home bed. A caring paperboy aids the man for a passage to his promised land, and becomes the unexpected inheritor of the man’s hallowed highlands.  As the boy seeks to build his own life on those gifted lands, he too is haunted by visions of a lost soul, and finally makes ready for his own deliverance in the high peaks. This strange story unfolds as we consider the man’s letters, the boy’s writings, and the photos and clippings all found among the boy’s belongings.  If you’ve ever been troubled by someone’s incurable suffering, then read Care Giver.  It is at once a testament to forbidden mercies and to the power of enduring faith.  For me, it rings of the utter truth.
