DESCRIPTION:Sam Hill always saw the world through different eyes. Born wit
 h red pupils, he was called "Devil Boy" or Sam "Hell" 
 by his classmates; "God's will" is what his mother called h
 is ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered, 
 buoyed by his mother's devout faith, his father's practical wisd
 om, and his two other misfit friends. Sam believed it was God who sent Er
 nie 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 Kenn
 edy to storm into Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule S
 am had been taught about boys and girls. Forty years later, Sam, a small-
 town eye doctor, is no longer certain anything was by design - especially 
 not the tragedy that caused him to turn his back on his friends, his homet
 own, and the life he'd always known. Running from the pain, eyes clos
 ed, served little purpose. Now, as he looks back on his life, Sam embarks 
 on a journey that will take him halfway around the world. This time, his e
 yes are wide open - bringing into clear view what changed him, defined him
 , and made him so afraid, until he can finally see what truly matters.
