Dane Campbell was born into a family that he considers to be a loving normal family. His dad and two little sisters are of little stature, usually referred to as little people or people with dwarfism. This would be the perfect family, except for one thing. His twin brother Dwain isn't with them. He was taken away at birth by Zelda Cloud of Social Services.
She’s a woman with an attitude, often referred to as Zelda the Witch. It’s not a secret that she’s not serving the less fortunate, the poor, or those in need. As far as she’s concerned, if they were all institutionalized the world would be a better place.
Dane’s seventeenth birthday is less than a month away. He has a plan to bring his brother home. Pastor Davis told him that begging God isn’t showing faith and that faith is what moves a mountain. So, Dane is showing that he has faith by not doubting that God will bring Dwain home for their birthday party on September 30.
His class in school gets involved by making finding Dwain into a class project. When the class project starts getting a lot of media coverage and copies of Zelda Cloud’s files concerning the case show up on the class website, Judge Roy Bain is asked to review the case. Zelda is shocked by his decision. Never before has she been ruled against in a court room but even then, she lies about knowing the whereabouts of Dwain Campbell.
Wealthy land owner George McCain voices his opinion against the class project. He has five legally adopted sons and doesn’t believe the Campbell family has a right to find a child given up seventeen years ago.
Dane hears the opposition but lives each day believing Dwain is coming home. His enthusiasm is contagious. People begin believing and planning for Dwain coming home. His dad and grandpa add a side car to his motor cycle and paint the name Dwain on it so the twins can lead the Fall Festival parade on Saturday October first.
The community plans a birthday party in the gymnasium complete with a banner that reads: Welcome Home Dwain.
Everyone waits for a miracle and Zelda Cloud prepares to stand firmly between Dwain and the gymnasium should there actually be a god that could bring him home.
What seventeen years of legal battles couldn't accomplish, Dane knew, God would.
