This is the inspiring life story of Donald Nejedly/Tom Little, who was abandoned by his mother and spent two years as a ward of the state at the Minnesota State School for Dependent and Neglected Children. Donald was considered one of the fortunate few (only 5 percent) from the State School who was placed for adoption with what appeared to be a loving family. His adoptive father, who immediately changed Donald's name to Tom Little, was cruel and abusive, yet Tom went on to touch many lives as a teacher and pastor with his love, positivity and strong faith.
