This book, somehow through all the difficulties and violence described, was truly uplifting. To nurture a child that results in a strong sense of identy is challenging for all parents. For a child who doesn't know his parents; it may seem to be impossible. Yet the love, understanding, and consistency with which the adults raised the orphan Macklin boys proved that these factors result in strength of character. The questions that Randall asked his psychiatrist/ counselor are questions that we all grapple with. We are all created equal in the eyes of God; but in the eyes of the world inequality seems to reign. I enjoyed reading this book so very much as I watched Randall's coping skills develop and serve him well. I would recommend that every parent and professional involved in serving children read and thoughtfully consider Randall's development presented herein. This may not have been the author's  intention; but certainly the hope that Randall possessed; he shared with me.
