Story
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. 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.

Really not my kind of book. It was like watching a soap opera. A little bit of mystery and surprise tied in. I’m impressed that I finished listening to the whole thing

Sorry, but this was as boring as heck. There should be a button where I could tag this as attempted to listen to but couldn’t stand instead of just “finished” so I can keep track of the books that I attempted to read but gave up on!

It grated on my nerves every time Dara Rosenberg read San Luis Obispo as "Obisko". People should know how to read cities correctly... she did it over and over!
