Sam Hill has always been different—his red pupils earned him the nickname “Devil Boy,” but his mother called him “God’s will.” With her unwavering faith, his father’s steady guidance, and two unlikely friends—Ernie, the only Black boy in school, and Mickie, a fierce rulebreaker—Sam navigated a childhood of ridicule and resilience.
Forty years later, Sam, now a small-town eye doctor, questions the design of his life. Tragedy fractured his friendships and drove him away from the people and place he once held dear. Running from pain brought no answers, but revisiting his past just might.
On a journey that spans continents and decades, Sam opens his eyes to the truths that shaped him and the courage it takes to face what truly matters.
