Adopted as young children, Dennie and Thes are raised in a home filled with love and the light of the gospel. Bright, beautiful, and outgoing, Dennie flourishes in this safe and caring environment. Yet her brother, Thes, is haunted by memories of his painful early-childhood years in Chile. He seems driven to run faster, to test the limits of his endurance--to race the clouds and the sky. His untimely death devastates the family, burdening each of them with grief and guilt. What could they have done differently to reach out to Thes and prevent this tragedy? Over time, as the family learns the truth about his accident, hearts begin to mend as they forgive themselves and each other by embracing the Savior's Atonement Author Marcie Anne Jenson's sensitivity and insights will touch your heart and give you reason to rejoice and to find hope in the healing power of love, friendship, acceptance, and forgiveness. This is a book you will want to read more than once--a book you will want to share with friends and family. [from publisher website]
