Publisher's Synopsis
On a clear day in March 1926, a middle-aged Irish woman arrived in Boston to retrieve a most unusual package: a baby boy, orphaned by his unwed mother and desperate for the care of a loving family. Christened Will Squires by his adoptive parents, the young boy soon discovers that the reasons for his adoption and the unwarranted kindness of his benefactor, the local judge, are shrouded in mystery. Struggling to make sense of his origin and identity, Will Squires stumbles upon an even greater mystery-the work of God's hand in his life. As his horizons broaden through education and travel, Will is exposed to many influential people who shape his character as God guides his destiny. Romance blooms and Will finds his calling and seeks to do the work of God wherever he finds himself. Enriched with biblical allusions and the author's own poetry, this biographical account of one man's incredible journey will delight readers with its fascinating array of characters, wonderful sense of place, and most of all its surprising plot twists. Ultimately, William McDowell seeks to convey the message of God's unfailing grace, as revealed to an orphan whose life story has become his most treasured testimony.
