Myron Yoder's family was always proud of their eldest son Seth, a sports prodigy, but most of their attention goes to their younger son Justin, whose spina bifida condition means a wheelchair and constant, frantic care.

That proves promising and dangerous, but it also puts unbearable stress on the family cohesion as Seth now feels cruelly shoved aside.
