At First Sight

Harry asks two things of life: to play college football and to find the kind of love shared by his father and late mother. Neither dream seems too high for hope until he is caught in a practical joke that ends in the destruction of both. Within three years, he is in a war zone, battling depression and a hopeless future. Suddenly, in the most unlikely of places, hope returns when he finds love at first sight. But his happiness is short-lived, for in the next instant, tragedy thrusts Harry again into futility with no apparent exit. Will he ever know the kind of love his parents had? Will he ever get over the loss of a football scholarship? Harry's only hope is like smoking flax that he thinks God has already quenched.
