“So, I’m busting my butt, humping up this stupid Mount Moriah, carrying a massive load of wood strapped across my shoulders, and why? Because my old man says we gotta make a sacrifice up here. I mean, this totally stinks.”
-Isaac, from According to Isaac
According to Isaac is an imaginative retelling of the enigmatic Abraham/Isaac story from Genesis 22, but from a very different perspective—Isaac’s.
In this version, Isaac is the storyteller.
After a three-day journey across the harsh Judean landscape, they finally reach Mount Moriah. It’s only when Isaac feels Abraham’s blade across his throat that he realizes what Abraham has intended all along.

The Leap Year Boy
Set in Pittsburgh in the early 1900's, The Leap Year Boy is the story of a working class family and an extraordinary boy named Alex Miller, born in the family's home on February 29, 1908. What makes Alex so remarkable is that even though he's full term, he weighs just two pounds, one ounce and is nine inches long. Despite his size, Alex is perfectly healthy. However, his body grows at one-fourth the rate of a normal child--so that after one year, he's the size of a three-month-old--but his mind grows much more quickly. Eventually, so do certain parts of his body and his ability to do various and unusual things with them. As Alex's special abilities become apparent, those around him see him as both a miracle child and a freak of nature--a freak to exploit. How Alex saves himself from the designs of others--his religious fanatic grandmother, who sees him as the new Messiah; his money-grubbing immigrant doctor, who wants to put him on display; his unstable nanny, who believes Alex is her lost child; and his father and father's mistress, who are eager to tap Alex's commercial potential--is at the heart of the novel. Ultimately, a family that has been fractured by ambition and circumstance rediscovers loyalty and love, thanks to Alex's courage.
