A father’s grief. A child’s fate. A heartbreaking, deeply personal novel of love, loss, and faith.
Don Wanderhop’s life is shaped by tragedy—from a strict Calvinist upbringing in Chicago to the loss of his brother, his faith, his wife, and, finally, his beloved daughter. Based on Peter De Vries’s own life, The Blood of the Lamb is his most poignant and powerful novel, capturing the raw anguish of a parent’s worst nightmare.
Yet even in its sorrow, De Vries’s signature wit and humor shine through, offering moments of levity amid the heartbreak. A deeply moving exploration of faith, suffering, and resilience, this autobiographical masterpiece stands as a testament to the author’s ability to turn personal pain into unforgettable literature.
