The next Second Congregational Church Book Club selection is “The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell” by Robert Dugoni. A discussion will take place in the church parlor on Tue, May 21, from 6:30 to 7:45 pm. (Note: this is the third Tue of the month.)
“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, buoyedbyhis mother’s devout faith, his father’s practical wisdom and his two other misfit friends. Forty years later, Sam is a small-town eye doctor until a tragedy causes him to run from pain, eyes closed. Sam embarks on a journey halfway around the world. This time his eyes are wide open and he finally sees what truly matters. (from a Google book review)
