Spanning nearly five decades, from the end of World War II to the early 1990s, their story has the scope, depth, wealth of incident, and emotional intensity of a great novel, and an abundance of humor, scandal, warmth, and trauma--the recognizable components of family life. This is also a masterful chronicle of the turbulent postwar era, illuminating the interplay between private life and profound cultural changes.

Midway through, the tone shifts, and Joel offers a message of hope and an appeal for repentance. This message remains relevant for modern followers of God.

All eggplants are not the same! Some are long, and some are short. Some are skinny, some curve, and some have extra skin covering the plant.
