Sam I Am

(2) 4-6 When Sam's Jewish dad and Christian mom start to rethink how they feel about their respective religions, it puts the kids in the middle of their differences. Twelve-year-old Sam comes to realize (rather didactically) that his household replicates in miniature the fighting that divides people everywhere and (more believably) to appreciate his own hard-won relationship with God.
