This is heartwarming and adventurous story about a teenage boy named Peter Robinson, an only child living with his widowed mother, Doris. He is more mature than boys his age and even those slightly older. He keeps pretty much to home with his mother and has many friends, both straight and gay.
He suffered a great loss when his father died of cancer when Peter was just fourteen years old, and is still trying to cope with his death just a year later when this story begins. Peter has a spiritual experience with his dad in which he tells Peter he is the man of the house and has grown-up responsibilities now. He also tells Peter that he is passing down to him a gift that was passed on to him when he was a young boy. It has to do with a mission in life, a destiny that he was unable to complete, and he wishes Peter to take over the mission. He realizes that it is such a huge task that Peter will be in need of some help, and he will send someone to help him.
After the gift is passed on to Peter, he gains a new outlook on life and the future of the planet. His mission to end bullying, hate, discrimination, and to promote world peace seems impossible to almost everyone, except Peter and his helper, Scott Randall, who was chosen by Peter's dad and sent to help Peter. The two boys became the best of friends even though Scott is gay. They share a brother-like friendship, and their relationship is one that is bonded by pure love, the gift that was passed on to Peter by his dad. Together they grow by leaps and bounds above everyone around them, not physically, but emotionally and spiritually.
Peter and his faithful partner, Scott, along with several other friends, embark on a journey and a great challenge for a group of teenagers, to promote peace and love around the world. They make many new friends, change the way some people think, get the attention of many world leaders, and get assistance from some of the most unlikely sources, which surprises the people they know.
They gain much notoriety, respect, and admiration from world leaders, celebrities, influential people, and the people they come in contact with. Peter reaches out to his celebrity idols and many others to help with the pursuit of their destiny for everyone to live in peace and harmony.
You may say I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one,
I hope someday you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.
