Tyler Doherty (Tanner Maguire) is an extraordinary eight-year-old boy. Surrounded by a loving family and community, and armed with the courage of his faith, he faces his daily battle against cancer with bravery and grace. To Tyler, God is a friend, a teacher and the ultimate pen pal—Tyler's prayers take the form of letters, which he composes and mails on a daily basis. The letters find their way into the hands of Brady McDaniels (Jeffrey S.S. Johnson), a beleaguered postman standing at a crossroads in his life. At first, he is confused and conflicted over what to do with the letters. But the decision he ultimately makes becomes a testament to the quiet power of one boy's shining spirit and unshakeable faith.Holy heart strings, Batman! This one was brutal. They play your heart like a fiddle and strike a spiritual note in the most non-spiritual people. This is as if Oprah and Extreme Home Makeover got together and made a movie. Even with the blatantness of it all - I still enjoyed this movie tremendously. I cared about the characters and felt for them across the board.
I would definitely recommend people checking this out . . . . . . since its on video. You can then cry in the privacy of your own home.
