Will hope prove itself worth fighting for?
Nestled within the mountains of Colorado, life is anything but perfect for two children and their negligent aunt. Yet it becomes even more of a disaster when a mysterious accident leaves Aryon mute and Jenn terrified for their futures. Battling her own sorrow, bitterness, and distant memories, Jenn journeys through the mountains of Colorado in search of their father, who may only be as real as a wisp of mist. The biggest things standing in her way are the miles of seemingly endless forest, her shattered memories, and a mysterious woman trailing her.
As she journeys on, Jenn is forced to confront her past. Has time changed her memories? What will it take to be strong and unhindered by the darkness around her? And does this woman hold the key to her past—her real past?
But no matter where Jenn goes, a shard of sky shines bright overhead as a distant reminder of the hope she’s fighting to hold onto—and the person she could become.
Heart-wrenching and emotionally moving, this story delivers a powerful message of courage and the wonder of hope. (From Goodreads)
Review:
~I'd like to thank the author for sending me a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!~
This was an amazing book, that demonstrates just how powerful God is. It doesn't matter how bleak life may seem, or what circumstances you are in, He will help you and work all things together for good. Shards of Sky was a true testament to that. I just sat down and read it all in one sitting. It was engaging, encouraging, and empowering, and I could just feel all the love that Colton poured into this novel. It's truly a work of art, and I hope you love it as much as I have. I look forward to reading this author's future novels!
