The theme for this week is congenital abnormalities.
The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell by Robert Dugoni
Sam Hill was born with red eyes. Going to a Catholic church and school was no easy feat when one’s affliction brings Satan to the minds of others. Only his mother thinks that Sam is destined to do great things. Sam is not so sure. I really enjoyed this book.
The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardson
A young librarian, who happens to be one of the Blue People of Kentucky, spends her days delivering books to poor people in her community. We learn that she was born with a condition that basically robs her tissues of oxygen. While the good people of town (and some of her patrons until they get to know her) are less than neighborly towards her, she goes above and beyond to help those on her route. It was really good.
MK out.
