Synopsis
Sam can't believe it when his father leaves the family to marry another woman - and a white woman, at that. The betrayal cuts deep - Sam had been so close to his dad. Now who can he turn to, who can he trust? Even God seems to have ditched him., & Sam can't believe it when his father leaves the family to marry another woman--and a white woman, at that. The betrayal cuts deep--Sam had been so close to his dad, & he idolized him. Now& who can he turn to, who can he trust? Even God seems to have ditched him. Ishmael is his father's first son, the heir, his favorite. But when his father is visited by mysterious strangers who claim that Abraham's wife, Sarah, will finally give birth to a legitimate son, Ishmael is worried. And when baby Isaac arrives, Ishmael becomes more isolated from his father. Could Abraham's God, who had spoken to Ishmael's mother, to whom he has made countless sacrifices, now betray him in favor of this new son?, Alternating between biblical times and contemporary Brooklyn, Grimes masterfully tells the stories of two boys separated by time, geography, and culture in this novel about love and forgiveness, and the comfort brought by faith during difficult times., Teenage Sam can barely contain his fury and hurt when his father gets married again, this time to a young white woman who gives Sam a new baby brother. In a parallel first-person narrative that draws on Genesis, young Ishmael and his mother, Hagar, rejected by Abraham, wander in the desert after Sarah bears Abraham's child. Grimes clear, free verse speaks with immediacy and lyricism about both boys' feelings of betrayal and loss.' - Booklist, starred review A 2006 Coretta Scott King Author Honor Book.'
