was written as a companion for the Major Motion Picture which opened at #10 in the Box Office.Based on the true story of author Patrick Doughtie's son, Tyler is an 8 year old battling cancer. He prayers to God in the form of letters and then sends in the mailbox.
Brady McDaniels is the postman who discovers the letters and is used by God to deliver them to people who need them most.
It's difficult to write anything critical about a story based on truth. (particularly as this was written by the boy's father who lost his home and job as a result of what it took to care for Tyler)
Parts have been fictionalized and can be considered religious fluff - lots of "sermons" about talking to God and the cliche of having people turn from God only to put their trust in Him.
It is a sad book so I don't recommend reading it if you don't like crying while you read.
