Solomon is blinded and burned over all his body when he pulls a pot of boiling beans on himself as a child. His family abandons him, giving him to Emperor Haile Selassie, who supports the boy. Solomon is educated in a Christian mission school, but rebels against God and mocks Christianity. One day he enters a chapel to hear the music and goes forward to give his life to Christ. He goes to law school and marries; but they are persecuted by the Communist government in Ethiopia. Solomon comes to the U.S. on a Fulbright Scholarship and now serves with the mission that helped him.
