This latter-day parable focuses on two brothers. Peter Rogers is an ambitious, hard-driving attorney. Bob Rogers is a thoughtfuI, contemplative doctor who decides to forsake his practice to do missionary work in war-torn China. When Peter's young son is tragicaIIy kiIled in an accident, he visits his brother and Iearns first-hand the importance of compassion and charity. ln a worId rocked by strife and pain, love can overcome and triumph.
The roIe of the idealistic young Dr, Bob Rogers wouId prove prescient for actor DeForest KeIley (1920-'99), who Iater found worldwide fame as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy on the classic teIevision series Star Trek.
