THE HOMECOMING OF SAMUEL LAKE was a good (not excellent) novel. The author did a great job of creating the setting--a small farming community in 1950s Arkansas. But it took me a while to connect to the oddly named characters: Noble, Blade, Blue, Toy and Swan Lake. Once I did connect, the story got more interesting. For me, the novel's message is that faith doesn't mean bad things won't happen to good people (they do); faith means that despite the bad, you still believe in miracles.
