The Blood of the Lamb by Peter de VriesRead about another entry on the list.
There are two coming-of-age stories here: one in which Don Wanderhop endures a difficult (but often hilarious) childhood and another in which he must come into a different kind of adulthood, as a father of a child living with cancer.
