<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>How Much Big Is the Sky</em> is a mother's searingly melodic and eloquent love song to her teenage son, Ryan, following his sudden death resulting from a car crash. Sherry Chapman captures the intimacy and immediacy of her experience with a rare combination of profound tenderness, literary skill, and raw candor. This stunning account of love and loss is structured in five parts resembling the various stages of grief. From the sudden blow of an early morning phone call to a mother's frantic advocacy to her final reflections on what remains, this book is unforgettable.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"<em>How Much Big Is the Sky</em> spares no difficult details as it describes the darkest and most unimaginable corners of a parent confronting tragedy. Yet the book's jagged chronology mirrors the experience and leaves on the reader the indelible impression that this mother has faced reality with enormous courage, described it with disarming clarity, and provided us with clear-eyed perspectives and rays of hope . . . Thank you, Sherry, for endeavoring to write this book and delivering such compelling honesty."<br /> -Tim Hollister, author, <em><strong>His Father Still</strong></em>; co-author, <em><strong>Not So Fast</strong> Parenting Your Teen Through the Dangers of Driving</em></p><br>
