Soon, Tom thought as he hurried to the hospital, I'll know if there is a God. And if He cares.
When they graduated in 1952, Thomas Kirkman and his high school classmates made daring
predictions about their future, including a trip to the moon. Though Tom never made it to the
moon, his journey through life took him to places just as unique.
But not even the prestige of working in the White House and the CIA could take away Tom's
disillusionment and despair when he loses the most important person in his life. Convinced that
God did not care, Tom buried himself in his work and turned his back on God. Did He even
exist?
Then, through an unexpected voice and an unpretentious Amish man, Tom Kirkman's life was
forever changed.
This work of biographical fiction echoes the true story of Thomas E. Kirkman—White House
artist, CIA spy, inventor, and Amish man (1934-2018).
