Aprašymas

When Thomas "Tom" Grant received an offer to travel as a farm worker to the United States, all he had was a change of clothes and a pair of self-made sandals to face the future. Eight years later and after much sacrifice, Tom is able to visit his family. The visit is bitter-sweet, filled with the joy of re-discovering his family, the pain of loved ones lost, the simple pleasures to be found in a familiar culture. And then, there is the island tour, laden with fun and the sense of personal discovery. The culmination of his hard work, his wife's frugality, and a remarkable stroke of luck unexpectedly places Tom in a position to realize a secret desire. Suddenly, Tom's achievements were poised to take wings and change the destiny of his family and impact the lives of all who knew him. The humble beginnings of Tom's journey would take him to high office, but his life would demonstrate that it is noble to walk through the door of opportunity and leave it open.
