The Candle of God (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432788865)

Fourteen-year-old Danny struggles with cystic fibrosis, but that's not his only challenge; he's also on a quest to find his biological father. As Danny continues his quest, his journey and his illness inspire visits from a cast of colorful, lovable characters, all bent on saving the life of a dying child. Converging on his California abode are his eccentric Jewish family, including a pair of Gentile cousins and a dead grandfather, plus a menagerie of unlikely guests - psychics, an ex-rabbi, a motorcycle gang, a parade of faith healers and the head of the Tucson Atheist Society, whom Danny believes is his real father. Author Donna Spector is an award-winning playwright, novelist and poet, who's earned the Masters of Poetry Prize and a number of other writing awards and nominations, including the Pushcart Editors Book Award for this novel.
