A story that will weave itself into your soul, Isaac's Song backs an emotional punch I won't soon forget.
Parent loss is hard, but it's especially hard when you're mourning the loss of the person and what you wished the relationship could have been. Isaac's story spans from childhood to adulthood as he grapples with his identity inside a home dominated by his controlling father.
There are a lot of layers to Isaac's story and you'll experience an array of emotions depending on where you are. From figuring out he was gay to trying to open up to his mother and watching his friends die from AIDs as a young man, there is a lot of sorrow but also tinges of hope and resilience.
Daniel Black is a gifted storyteller. If you loved Don't Cry For Me, this is for you. If you haven't read it yet, run don't walk. Isaac's Song will be in my Top 10 of 2025, I'm calling it now.
I chose Isaac's Song for my Jan BOTM box, but I was gifted an audio copy from Harlequin Audio. JD Jackson was a wonderful narrator and his ability to narrate such depth of emotion is a gift.
