The review of this Book prepared by Douglas Einstein




The Job is a story of self-discovery, acceptance and growth and is set in the context of the death of a loved one. It is
the story of a boy trying to become a man, his relationship with his grandfather and the changes that occur after his passing. This story is a vehicle for the message that relationships do not die as our bodies do.
