Life can change in an instant, and turn your whole world upside down. And that is exactly what happens to firefighter Jeff Elliott and his wife Ruth who are living their dream in the golden Midwest; high school sweethearts, married with two beautiful and healthy children, family farm, horses, sports, church groups, the whole American Dream come true. And one winters day, teenage son Eric "Hoovey" Elliott collapses at high school basketball practice, is rushed to the hospital, and the doctors find a tumor the size of an orange at the base of his brain. They're down to hours-if surgery that risks the boy's ability to walk, talk, and perhaps even survive is not performed immediately, Hoovey's young life will end before it truly even begins. In a grueling 8-hour procedure, the tumor is removed. And he survives. But for the Elliott family, life and dreams will never be the same. Hoovey has to teach himself to walk again, to read again, to even see straight with two unbalanced eyes, covered one at a time by an eye patch. Forget ever stepping on a basketball court - the risk of receiving a fatal blow to the spot on his head is just too great. As the unpaid medical bills mount, Jeff's firefighting salary isn't enough, the family is swimming in crippling debt seemingly overnight, everything he and Ruth have built in their life dream of two kids is at stake. Hoovey's teenage sister Jen feels alone and nearly forgotten in the most important time of her life. And as Hoovey realizes his one dream in life-playing this game-is gone, too, he sinks into a deep sadness. This is a family at risk. With no-one to turn to, but themselves and their God. HOOVEY is the true and inspiring story of the Elliott family, who refused to surrender, instead turning to one another and their faith in the worst of circumstances, to rebuild their lives, their boy, and their dreams... together. Step by grueling step, with faith, love, and the tireless work of a mother and father to save their family, their farm, their dream, Hoovey learns to walk again. To read again. To dribble and shoot a basketball again. And yes, to dream again himself. Then stepping out in his faith, back onto the hard court, to live that dream of playing this game once more... 译文(2): 生活可以在一瞬间改变，把你的整个世界颠倒过来。这就是消防员杰夫 · 艾略特和他的妻子露丝的遭遇，他们正在金色的中西部生活着他们的梦想; 高中恋人，结婚了，有两个漂亮健康的孩子，家庭农场，马匹，运动，教会团体，整个美国梦都实现了。冬天的一天，十几岁的儿子埃里克 · “胡维”· 埃利奥特在高中篮球训练时晕倒了，被紧急送往医院，医生在他的大脑底部发现了一个橘子大小的肿瘤。他们只剩下几个小时的时间了——如果不立即进行手术，让这个男孩丧失行走、说话甚至生存的能力，那么胡维年轻的生命将在真正开始之前结束。经过8小时艰苦的手术，肿瘤被切除了。他活下来了。但是对于艾略特一家来说，生活和梦想永远不会一样了。胡维必须教会自己重新走路，重新阅读，甚至用两只不平衡的眼睛直视，一次用眼罩遮住一只眼睛。忘记曾经踏上篮球场吧——头部受到致命一击的风险实在是太大了。随着拖欠的医疗费用不断增加，杰夫的消防员工资也不够，整个家庭似乎一夜之间就背上了沉重的债务，他和露丝一生梦想中的两个孩子所建立的一切都岌岌可危。胡维十几岁的妹妹珍感到孤独，几乎被遗忘在她生命中最重要的时刻。当胡维意识到他人生中唯一的梦想——玩这个游戏——也已经不复存在时，他陷入了深深的悲伤之中。这是个危险的家庭。除了他们自己和他们的上帝，没有人可以求助。胡维是一个真实而鼓舞人心的故事，关于艾略特一家，他们拒绝投降，而是转向彼此和他们的信念，在最糟糕的情况下，重建他们的生活，他们的儿子，和他们的梦想... 一起。胡维带着信念、爱和父母为拯救他们的家庭、农场和梦想所做的不知疲倦的工作，一步一步艰难地学会了走路。再读一遍。再次运球和投篮。是的，让他自己重新做梦。然后带着他的信念走出来，回到硬地球场，实现再次参加比赛的梦想..。
