Believing makes it possible. Faith makes it real. - Ruth Elliott Hoovey

Life can change in an instant, and turn your whole world upside down. And that is exactly what happens to firefighter Jeff Elliott and his wife Ruth who are living their dream in the golden Midwest; high school sweethearts, married with two beautiful and healthy children, family farm, horses, sports, church groups, the whole American Dream come true. And one winter’s day, teenage son Eric Hoovey Elliott collapses at high school basketball practice is rushed to the hospital, and the doctors find a tumor the size of an orange at the base of his brain. They’re down to hours for surgery that could risk the boys ability to walk, talk, and perhaps even survive is not performed immediately; Hoovey’s young life will end before it truly even begins. In a grueling 8-hour procedure, the tumor is removed. And he survives. But for the Elliott family, life and dreams will never be the same. Hoovey has to teach himself to walk again, to read again, to even see straight with two unbalanced eyes, covered one at a time by an eye patch. Forget ever stepping on a basketball court-- the risk of receiving a fatal blow to the spot on his head is just too great. As the unpaid medical bills mount, Jeff’s firefighting salary isn’t enough, the family is swimming in crippling debt seemingly overnight, and everything he and Ruth have built in their life dream of two kids is at stake. Hoovey’s teenage sister Jen feels alone and nearly forgotten in the most important time of her life. And as Hoovey realizes his one dream in life playing this game is gone, too, he sinks into a deep sadness. This is a family at risk with no-one to turn to, but themselves and their God. HOOVEY is the true and inspiring story of the Elliott family, who refused to surrender, instead turning to one another and their faith in the worst of circumstances, to rebuild their lives, their boy, and their dreams together. Step by grueling step, with faith, love, and the tireless work of a mother and father to save their family, their farm, their dream, Hoovey learns to walk again, read again, dribble, and shoot a basketball again. -IMbD
