Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestselling author Robert
Dugoni's coming-of-age story is, according to Booklist, "a novel
that, if it doesn't cross entirely over into John Irving territory,
certainly nestles in close to the border." Sam Hill always saw the
world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called
"Devil Boy" or Sam "Hell" by his classmates; "God's will" is what
his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little
comfort, but Sam persevered, buoyed by his mother's devout faith,
his father's practical wisdom, and his two other misfit friends.
Sam believed it was God who sent Ernie Cantwell, the only African
American kid in his class, to be the friend he so desperately
needed. And that it was God's idea for Mickie Kennedy to storm into
Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule Sam had been
taught about boys and girls. Forty years later, Sam, a small-town
eye doctor, is no longer certain anything was by design-especially
not the tragedy that caused him to turn his back on his friends,
his hometown, and the life he'd always known. Running from the
pain, eyes closed, served little purpose. Now, as he looks back on
his life, Sam embarks on a journey that will take him halfway
around the world. This time, his eyes are wide open-bringing into
clear view what changed him, defined him, and made him so afraid,
until he can finally see what truly matters. Winner of Suspense
Magazine's Crimson Scribe Award.
