Abraham's Boys

I was reading ahead in the Joe Hill book and came across the story "Abraham's Boys." While I was reading this story, I couldn't get the basic idea from the movie Frailty out of my head. It follows the same path of two sons with an absent mother. In Frailty, one of the sons follows the father while the other sees the error in his ways. I won't give it away just yet but this story follows a similar pattern.
