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. 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.
