June’s WOW Book Club selection is “The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell” by Robert Dugoni. Born with red pupils, Sam Hill was called a “Devil Boy” or Sam “Hell” by his classmates. Forty years later, Sam, a small town eye doctor, is no longer certain anything is by design- especially not the tragedy that caused him to turn his back on friends, his hometown, and the life he’d always known. As he looks back at his life, Sam embarks on a journey that will take him halfway across the world — bringing into clear view what changed him, defined him and made him so afraid, until he can finally see what truly matters.
