Does Godâs command to love your enemy include forgiving the drunk driver who killed your only child?
Itâs Christmas Eve, but Frank and Elizabeth Morris have no reason to celebrate. Joy, peace on earth, and good will toward men have been replaced by heartbreak, hatred, and bitterness. Their beloved only child, eighteen-year-old Ted, has just died from injuries sustained in a horrific automobile accident. Days later, they would learn that their son had been killed at the hands of a drunk driver.
The Morrisesâ strong Christian faith is shaken to its foundations as grief chokes every bit of hope and joy from their lives. They demand the death penalty for their sonâs killer, a young alcoholic named Tommy Pigage. When the charges are reduced from murder to manslaughter, they are outraged by the injustice of it allâand anguished by Godâs seeming indifference to their suffering.
Tormented by their inability to âlove their enemyâ, they continue to stumble through dark days and darker nights. It isnât until Elizabeth opens up her car doorâand her heartâto the troubled young man who killed her son that the light of Godâs transforming love begins to seep through the cracks of their broken lives.
