Sons from Afar
What's Sons from Afar About
James and Sammy Tillerman are as different as two brothers can be. But when Jimmy seeks out their missing father, Sammy joins in. As they ask questions, and move closer to their quest, it is Sammy who grows more interested–until the questions lead the brothers to a seedy waterfront bar where violence erupts….”Keeps your interest…Quite suspenseful.”KIDSDY-NEWSDAY
