This book is unlike most you will ever read. One reason is that even though the story is fiction, there are real photos of some of the places, people and animals mentioned in the story. I recreated some of the scenes so I could photograph them for the book. Other photos, I wrote the story around so it would seem more real. At the end of the book, I have a section called Why the Story was Written.” I also have sections where the characters talk to the reader and tell their story. This gives even more insight into the lives of the other characters and deeper meaning to the character’s personality. Near the end of the book, there is also a photo of a real golden sparrow.This story takes place in rural America, somewhere in the Midwest, during the latter years of the Great Depression. The world, at this time, is facing the greatest challenge it has ever faced, for the dark clouds of World War II are on the horizon. The Bible says that God marks the fall of every little sparrow. Does God, even when the world is filled with violence and the greatest trouble it has ever seen, still notice the death of every sparrow? The story proves he does.

The world, at this time, is facing the greatest challenge it has ever faced, for the dark clouds of World War II are on the horizon. The Bible says that God marks the fall of every little sparrow. Does God, even when the world is filled with violence and the greatest trouble it has ever seen, still notice the death of every sparrow? The story proves he does. Seven-year-old Jeremy does not know of all the troubles the world has, for he has enough troubles of his own. Born crippled, he must struggle on crutches to walk. Then, when he finds a baby sparrow that fell from its nest and died, he feels sorry for the tiny, helpless bird, but no one else seems to care. His grandmother tells him that God cares, and says that he notices the sparrow when it falls. Jeremy, however, asks: “If’n He saw it fall Grammaw, how come He let it die? And how come I was born crippled?” Later, several events in his young life cause him to feel even more sad and lonely. Then a tragic incident causes little Jeremy to nearly lose his life. It was because of his unselfish love that nearly caused Jeremy to die trying to save the life of a little boy who taunted and teased him. It was also a person Jeremy had befriended that intervened to help him; a man whom Jeremy’s Christian grandmother said was not fit for a little boy to associate with. Even though Jeremy was saved from certain death, the incident causes his life to still be in jeopardy. If there is not a miracle, if God does not intervene, Jeremy will die, or is this God’s plan? Will it be too late to save the child, or will God let little Jeremy die to teach others about the greatest love of all—to lay down your life for a friend?Because of Jeremy’s childlike faith, love and a prayer, he touches the lives of all those around him. This book was written to touch peoples’ hearts and their lives. It was written because of a real prayer and an answer to that prayer. The story behind the story is in the back of the book. Therefore, step back to a simpler time and let your heart feel and see the world through the eyes of a little child; a boy that trusts in God and finds that God can take even the bad things in our lives and use them for good.
