Son of Perdition

Timothy Jacobs, a young man determined to prove he is not like his infamous father Captain Ahab, initially believes in his own goodness and success as a midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy. His perspective shifts dramatically after sustaining a Civil War injury and grappling with feelings of anger and doubt toward God. A pivotal moment occurs when he reads about his father's struggle against the white whale, leading to a profound transformation in his understanding of faith and life's challenges.
