One of my favorite things is when books span an elongated period of time. In this one we follow Sam Hill from childhood through to middle age.
It's engaging right from the first page. There is an immediate spark and connection with the characters and by any definition this is a page-turner.
The story focuses on Sam, born with red eyes, and the difficulties he encounters because of it. It's a heart filled tale about bullying, friendship, persistance, faith and family.
There were difficult scenes to read, especially as a parent with a young boy but it's wonderfully written and the journey is cathartic
