That Printer of Udells

As a boy, Dick Falkner ran away from abject poverty and an abusive alcoholic father. Sixteen years later, he finds himself hungry of body and empty of spirit in a Midwestern town. Although he finds no help in this so-called Christian town, he is eventually taken in by George Udell, a local publisher and kindhearted man. Through hard work and Christian morals, this man, who becomes known as "that printer of Udell's," rises above his past to a new, inspiring life with God. "That book, That Printer of Udell's, had an impact I shall always remember...[It] set me on a course I've tried to follow even unto this day. I shall always be grateful."-Ronald Reagan
