This is the story of a dedicated father. Thomas Stevens grew up as
a farmer's son in rural Nebraska. He, his three brothers, and three
sisters helped their parents around the farm as much as they could.
He loved the business aspect of farming more than the sweat and
hard work and told of his desires at an early age to the
displeasure of his father. An understanding and loving man, Thomas'
father would not insist that his children remain on the farm and
assisted young Thomas in his pursuits. Christmas was a special time
for the Stevens household, and the family made it a weeklong
celebration within the old farmhouse. Thomas became quite wealthy.
Through quirks of fate, he met a woman in trouble named Emily.
Given Thomas's upbringing, he quickly came to her aid and soon fell
in love with her. Thomas's selflessness and kindness toward others
impressed Emily, and she learned quickly that Thomas was the man
she had always hoped to meet. Together they had a child named
Sarah. Sarah provided much love and laughter in their happy
household, and Thomas could see that Sarah possessed a level of
kindness and caring that angels might envy. All seemed perfect
until one day a simple trip to the grocery store and an out of
control car hit Emily's car head on and took her life. Thomas was
devastated, but he had Sarah and his family to help him pull
through the terrible trauma and devastating grief. Years went by
until another accident sent Thomas again into a depression that
lasted much of the remainder of his life. Thomas, young Sarah, and
two of Sarah's cousins got into Thomas's car. He inadvertently
neglected to lock Sarah securely into her seat belt, and a head-on
accident sent his beautiful twelve-year-old daughter through the
windshield, paralyzing her for life. Thomas vowed to make things
right, but Sarah harbored a lifetime of resentment and bitter
hatred toward her father and eliminated him from her life. Thomas
tried everything to regain her love, but nothing he did would
restore her trust or rekindle their loving relationship. He set out
on an incredible journey that reaped him astonishing successes in
his business world but one fraught with heart-wrenching depths into
dementia, loss, prison, and despair, all for the sole purpose of
restoring his and Sarah's relationship and life together as a
family. He was a father first and that was the only success he
sought. He did not care how long it took or the depths to which he
had to sink to get there. He was determined to restore his
daughter's affections even though she was oblivious to her father's
good deeds. They lived a lifetime apart with Sarah not knowing or
caring how much she meant to Thomas and how much her absence from
his life had devastated him.
