Thanks to NetGalley, Lake Union Publishing, and Robert Dugoni for the opportunity to read and review his latest novel. Loved it!! I'm a huge fan of Dugoni's Tracy Crosswhite mystery series but this novel is a different genre and it is wonderful.
Sam Hill was born with ocular albinism which presents as red eyes. His very devoutly Catholic mother told him continually that he was extraordinary. However, that did nothing to stop the bullies in all forms once he started at the local Catholic school. Years later, Sam is again faced with one of those same bullies.
This is truly an extraordinary book. I loved all of the Catholic traditions, beliefs and sayings in this book as well as the amazing lessons of faith, family, friendship, love, forgiveness. Told in short chapters alternating between Sam's childhood and adulthood, this was a story that hit all your emotional buttons - even more so when you read the acknowledgements.
Highly, highly recommended - don't miss it!
