Or is he a snake-hipped guitar god, with a shot at the big time?John Leighton is Joseph's grandfather, a wise and genial old gent. Or is he David's father, trying so hard, and failing to understand his son? Or is he his own man, who made his own choices long ago?The Sins of the Fathers spans different lives, all woven from the same threads, but every life is different, every pattern has been made its own.The Sins of the Fathers are those things you wish you had never known.
