Henry eyes the horizon, having his mind set about the direction his life will take. Having a perception about what love is and ought to be presents a set of challenges of its own. A war rages between good and evil for a prideful, wayward son of a praying mom like Fran. “The bible says…” says Fran. “But I believe…” Henry declares. A draft settles in the house, expanding the chill between Fran and her youngest child, who knows everything, he thinks, about life. "Self-deception creates a barrier to the truth. It’s the truth that will set you free,” says Henry Sr. “That's scripture, not opinion.” For a father who knows the power of prayer, losing Henry is worth finding him. “Just focus on your other children,” says Henry. “If I had a hundred children and lose one of them, I will leave the ninety-nine to find the lost,” says Sr. “So how will you recover me, dad?” Henry asks. “How do you think, son?”
