At 8:47 A.M. on Wednesday, October 12, 1977, new-to-town
businessman Bingham Murdock flew his small plane into New
Orleans, banking it in such a way that a ray of sunshine
shot through the city at light speed.
Amalise Catoir
saw the flash from her sixteenth floor law office window.
Finally feeling alive after the death of her abusive
husband, she imagined seeing the plane was a fate for her
eyes only; a special connection between the unknown giver
and she, the recipient of light.
But someone else saw
it, a six-year-old Cambodian refugee in foster care for whom
a sudden burst of brightness reminds him of artillery
fire.
Destined to cross paths with the man and the
child, Amalise doesn’t yet know the deeper spiritual lesson
she will learn: that we are responsible not only for the
things we do, but also for the things that we don’t.
