After running away from the orphanage, Pat and Dan find themselves homeless in Central Park, NY, eating leftover food from trash-bins and begging for money. On a cold winter morning, they are taken in by Miss Teresa, an elderly black Christian woman who takes pity on the teens. She adopts them because God has blessed her with a home after she too was homeless many years ago.Nine months later Miss Theresa passes away in her bed and leaves her old run-down house to Pat and Dan. Years go by and eventually they fall in love and marry and they have a son named Adam. For his 8th birthday, they buy Adam the bicycle he has been wishing for and he takes it out for a ride. A terrible bike accident leaves Adam in deep coma in hospital and doctors give his parents the news he has only months to live.However, something is happening in Adam's unconscious mind. A strange angel flies into Adam's room one morning and begins reading a story from a magical book about a little town named Pickersville. This wasn't just a dream, the story implants messages into his mind that may just be the key to untangling his mysterious family history and changing his poor family's life forever...if only he can wake up. The Little Town of Pickersville Written by Chris Henry.
