Sons from Afar — Cynthia Voigt

How strong are brotherly ties?

If James and Sammy Tillerman agree on anything, it's that they have nothing in common. Sammy is a tough jock, while James is an intellectual who has begun to question his identity. Then James enlists his brother's help to find Francis Verricker, a man he believes may be the father who deserted them long ago. Through this quest, the brothers learn more about themselves than they thought possible. Cynthia Voigt writes realistically of human failure -- and triumph -- in this poignant novel from her acclaimed Tillerman series.
