This story happens to be speaking about those things that be not as though they were (Romans 4:17 KJV). The main character Anne is missing her father Alex tremendously. Perhaps her granddad is doing possibly all that he can to fill Alex's shoes, but it's just not the same. Meanwhile, the grandparents, led by the granddad, love her as well as the other girls without favoritism. But poor little Anne can't seem to forget how her dad left without taking her along. Ultimately, that caused Anne to become so ill that even her sisters, granddad, or anyone else could not console her. Of course, the best doctors, as well as the spiritual leaders in the community, could not restore her happiness. Anne, although three years of age, knows about prayer, and that it was a way to ask God for whatever you desire. The granddad never gives up on God either because God has proven Himself time and time again.
