Holding Putter is a thought-provoking and sensitive glimpse into the lives of a minister, his wife, and their three sons, whose humble lives are forever changed when their middle son, Sammy, begins having seizures at age four. Together, with the assistance of a throwaway doorstep chihuahua named Putter, the family contends with the vagaries of life as frequent flourishes of hope and unexpected challenges present themselves. The ongoing search for a cause and a cure for the boy's condition continually tests the family's faith and resolve.
Sammy's lifelong dream is to be normal, and his search to be like other people leads him to the ultimate revelation that perhaps no one is normal. Even with limited physical and intellectual capabilities, Sammy finally discovers that perhaps only in the afterlife does God have a place prepared for believers where everyone, including Putter, is normal.
