He decided to write this when he learned that his beloved son Aaron had a terrible disease that would turn him into an old man even as a child.  Aaron died at eight.  Kushner reflected upon why an innocent child should suffer so much.  Could God have prevented this?  Kushner turned to the story of Job to try to understand.  If you like this podcast, I hope you will read the book.  And another book, Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankel.  I also have a podcast on that book.
