Ron Perkins is a typical young man growing up in a small East Texas town in the Depression era of the 1930s.
His family suffers through a sudden catastrophic event that causes an upheaval in their lives and an unexpected change in circumstances.
But with tragedy comes redemption as Ron discovers new truths about himself and his God-given talent. He finds tremendous success on the golf course and meets the girl who is to become the love of his life.
This is his journey through heartbreaking loss and exhilarating triumph covering several decades from his distinguished service in World War II up to a successful career as an executive in the burgeoning television industry in the 1950s.
For our present troubles are quite small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us immeasurably great glory that will last forever. So we don't look at the troubles we can see right now, rather, we look forward to what we have not yet seen. For the troubles we see will soon be over, but the joy to come will last forever. (2 Corinthians 4:17–18)
I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart because I have overcome the world. (John 16:33)
