Seller's description

Daddy works through the night and sleeps in his car, far from home, and every day he quietly puts another stone in his backpack: a stone for every bill, a stone for every worry. He smiles on the outside, but the backpack keeps getting heavier, until one dark night he finally prays, "God, I can't carry this anymore." Then his little girl Zoey holds out her tiny hands and asks, "Can I carry one, Daddy?" This is the true, gentle story of a tired dreamer learning that asking for help is the strongest thing a dad can do.

Theme: Faith and family. It's okay to not be okay, and you don't have to carry it alone.
