From Earth's Sorrows

the long version

Chad Stevens is a modern day, self-sufficient rancher; until his life is shattered by the tragic death of his beloved wife and young son. So completely traumatized, overwhelmed with grief and despairing of life itself, he is committed to a psychiatric hospital. After weeks of treatment and counseling he sets out on a journey to see if there really is any reason for him to go on living. What he finds is more than he could have imagined or hoped for, when circumstances lead him to experience a whole new dimension in his life and a future with far different values and priorities from those of the past. - Publisher.
