It Came Even to Me by Drew Hill delves into the complexities of reconciling religious faith with contemporary views on sexuality. Set
in a small town in Georgia, the story follows a pastor struggling to
maintain his convictions while navigating the turmoil within his
family, as love and forgiveness clash with hatred and intolerance.
The narrative explores themes of faith, family division, and reconciliation, offering a poignant portrayal of one family's journey
through conflict and eventual healing. Hill handles the varied and
complex topics of this novel with a great sense of balance. There’s
a confident narrative control that blends sensitive social issues with
deep emotional storytelling, allowing readers to engage with
important concepts naturally as part of the story that never feels
like they’re being beaten over the head with issues just for the sake
of it.

The eloquent writing style is thought-provoking and compassionate,
with moral dilemmas portrayed in real terms of what they actually
mean to the characters so that the issues feel real, accessible, and relatable. The author’s ability to portray the raw emotions and internal conflicts of his characters feels authentic, thanks to some realistic dialogue exchanges, and I often felt I was right on the shoulders of the families caught in very painful and insightful debates. Drew Hill's exploration of grace and truth in the face of intolerance provides a powerful and inspiring message for anyone who has ever had difficult conversations with those they love.
Overall, It Came Even to Me is a highly recommended read for fans of drama and social issues.
