A Ton of Light (en Inglés) - Jim Bates

An unexpected phone call throws Tim Larson’s life into turmoil. His estranged father is dying and has reached out to his former family. He wants to see them. Over 40 years earlier, the man left Tim and his younger siblings and their mother and had no contact with any of them since. None of Tim’s four brothers and sisters want to have anything to do with the man who caused them all so much hurt and pain.

However, Tim feels he can’t leave the old man all alone. Against his better judgment, he decides to make the journey. He takes his nine-year-old grandson, who is dealing with issues of his own, with him.

Tim meets his father, and they begin to form a tentative relationship. Is it enough to offer the old man the solace he desires? And will it also provide Tim with the closure he didn’t know he needed?

This is the story of a reluctant man’s journey to do what he feels is the right thing and how he comes to appreciate what is truly important in his life.
