Jesse’s Seed is a compelling story told well. I was drawn into David’s world, a world initially characterized by doubt and confusion, but which gained clarity as David discovered his true identity and pursued his destiny, a destiny much greater than he himself could have imagined possible. David’s story is a story of the triumph of the human spirit over time, place, and circumstance. Sam Pakan had me thinking about the meaning of my own life as I thought about the meaning of David”s and that is something that can be said about only a small handful of contemporary novelists.
