From the Publisher

This is a very powerfully written book about death, grief, loss and recovery, hope and a stalwart belief in miracles.

A moving story of love, loss and recovery that will grab your heart, nourish your soul and open your eyes. A must read for anyone who has experienced a great loss and is trying to find some path out of the darkness of their despair or to understand those that are.

The breathtaking pencil illustrations throughout the book were done by the author as well. They only compliment an already loving and tender book that you will never forget. You will find yourself walking in the author's shoes as you travel his journey with him. You will laugh and most assuredly you will cry as you experience his pain in trying to accept the unacceptable;the death of his child.

This is a must-read book. It will deeply touch your heart and soul. I have never met this darling boy who died at the age of nine but I feel like I know him and his family through this book. God bless Kelly and his family forever for conquering their trials. Certainly Kelly is missed but his memory lives on through this book.
