This is beautifully written. Spoiler in the review!

It's a heartbreaking story because so many children go through something similar. I think it was a little personal for me because of what my children have to go through with an absent dad addicted to drugs. But knowing that Esau's dad had a relationship with Jesus in the end and tried to make amends with his children, it's beautiful.
