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.

Heavy in religion. Story of greed, arrogance, deceit, which is eventually forgiven. Story of somethings lost but new and more exciting things found. Story of regrets but learning aching lessons from them.

Great read, well written, I highly recommend the story.
This was a great story. It is a story of love between parents and children. Also, it is a story of the love the creator has for his own. Great for those who have dealt with addiction or have family members that have. Also great for those who have a love for all things sacred or have Native American ancestry.

Good Book, however...
This was a good book on faith family and culture, set in eastern Oregon, my beloved state! The story line was easy to follow, however the person who read the book needs to do their homework on how to pronounce the name of the state, cities and land marks! Oregon is pronounced Ory-gun, Willamette is pronounced Will lamb ette , please before reading a novel set in a particular region do your homework on how that region pronounces their lame marks etc, other than that it was an interesting story!

Love this story
This story is about Native Americans in eastern Oregon. However, they could have been anywhere in the U.S. The White man still pushes the Indians down and make them live in terrible reservations. The story tells how Miri has to fight to save sacred ground from the white man by herself. This is a great story.

After a tornado rips through her town, store owner Abigail comes across a piece of fabric from a wedding dress among the devastation. Abigail is moved to start collecting other swatches of fabric she finds - her neighbor’s kitchen curtains, a man’s necktie, a dog’s bed - which she stashes in shopping bags. As she pursues her seemingly absurd quest, horrible realities spark the question, “What kind of a God would allow such tragedy?”
