In 1936, war loomed on the horizon, tensions were running high, and by the age of thirteen, Sheldon Horowitz had already experienced the loss of his mother twice. While a terrible accident claimed his mother's life, Sheldon firmly believed that his father had been murdered. However, his suspicions were met with skepticism from others, including the police. Undeterred, Sheldon resolved to uncover the truth and embarked on a quest to find the culprit, leaving behind his only friend, Lenny. He relocated to Hartford, Connecticut, to live with his uncle, where he was advised to forget the past and keep his head down. But Sheldon's indomitable spirit couldn't be contained. Fueled by his politically-minded cousin, Abe, and perhaps even a budding affection for his cousin, Mirabelle, he set out on a mission to unravel the mysteries that had haunted him for years.

Sheldon's journey took him from the industrial heart of Hartford to the opulent confines of a ritzy hotel in the Catskills, back to his childhood home, and finally to the bustling streets of New York. Along the way, he quickly realized that the world was a treacherous place, filled with dangers and uncertainties. But Sheldon was a survivor, and he possessed a unique ability to make his own luck. With determination and resilience, he navigated the treacherous terrain, facing countless challenges and obstacles along the way.

Through his adventures, Sheldon discovered the true meaning of family, friendship, and love. He learned that sometimes the most unexpected revelations could come from the most unlikely sources and that the truth was often buried beneath layers of deceit and deception. In the end, Sheldon emerged as a hero, a memorable survivor who had overcome incredible odds and emerged stronger than ever before.

"The Orphan Master's Son" is a tragic-comic coming of age story that will leave readers in awe of Sheldon's resilience and determination. It is a testament to the power of the human spirit and the strength of family bonds. For fans of "All The Light We Cannot See" and Michael Chabon's "The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay," this novel is a must-read that will transport you to a different era and leave you with a lasting impression.
