Plot
[edit]Blynn Lehman, one of nine children in a family in Pasadena, California during 1917 is facing many changes. His older brother announces that he's received a draft notice from the U.S. Army. His father informs the family that they are all going to need to reduce spending to make it through their present financial struggles. As Blynn watches his older siblings begin working and saving, he decides to lead the younger kids in an attempt to help the family survive.
Blynn overhears a conversation that leads him to believe that composing a hit song could make much money. His father has already begun writing a song about the love of God, so Blynn and his siblings try to help their father finish it. Their failed attempts to compose more of the song cause Blynn to realize he doesn't understand what it means to love God. Blynn stumbles across the perfect verse to finish the song, which begins a search for the author of that verse. He eventually learns that an ancient Jewish Rabbi living in Germany during the First Crusade composed the verse that they are using to complete their father's song.
When the family receives news that their oldest brother has died in World War I, Blynn's struggle to understand God's love comes to a climax. Ultimately, he learns what it means to love God and others.
