For Love's Sake
Days before Christmas 1978, Peter Walker, a young English lay preacher, is killed in a motorcycle accident. His wife Mary, already emotionally fragile, falls into a spiral of depression and attempts to take her own life. As a result, Mary loses custody of her two young boys, Paul and James. The boys are taken under the care of the county authorities and placed in a series of children's homes and in a temporary foster placement with their grandparents. Their experiences in the system only lead to further trauma for the boys. While James clings desperately to his Christian faith and the hope of reunification with his mother, Paul becomes despondent and begins to act out by fighting and committing petty crimes. Through the intervention of her church community, a dedicated social worker, and a caring Christian therapist (played by Bruce Marchiano), Mary regains her faith, begins to experience emotional healing, and finds the strength to fight a skeptical bureaucracy for custody of her children. For Love's Sake offers an honest and emotional character study of a broken family. The story is seen through the eyes of the children as they struggle to keep hope in the midst of seemingly hopeless circumstances. The story powerfully demonstrates that through the healing power of Jesus Christ, no family is beyond hope!
