ABOUT THE BOOK A story about love, loss and finding hope-against all odds. Rob Coates can't believe his luck. There is Anna, his incredible wife, and most precious of all, Jack, their son, who makes every day an extraordinary adventure. Rob feels like he's won the lottery of life. Or rather-he did. Until the day it all changes when Anna becomes convinced there is something wrong with Jack. Now Rob sleepwalks through his days, unable to bridge the gulf that separates him from his wife, his son and the business of living. But he's determined to come to terms with what's happened-and find a way back to life, and forgiveness. We Own the Sky will resonate with anyone who has ever suffered loss or experienced great love. Luke Allnutt shows that the journey from hope to despair and back is never as simple as we think, and that even the most thoroughly broken heart can learn to beat again. MY REVIEW Before you sit down to read this book you need to make a cup of tea, have a box of tissues close at hand, and if you have kids give them a huge hug and a kiss. Then and only then should you turn the first page and become caught up in this emotional and heartbreaking tale of love and family that will change you forever. Rob Coates had the perfect life but everything he loves is suddenly threatened when his little boy becomes ill. As the story moves from past to present we get to see Rob's life before Jack's diagnosis and after, and I am telling you now this book will have you ugly crying. Such a sensitive topic is always difficult to read but the author has such an honest and raw way with words that you feel what these characters are feeling and you will put yourself in their shoes (which is often harrowing). WE OWN THE SKY by Luke Allnutt is a story about despair and fear, but it is also sprinkled throughout with hope and love - the love one has for their child and how far you would go for them. WE OWN THE SKY is a stunning debut and should be on everyone's to-read list this year. Author Bio: Originally from the U.K., I’ve lived and worked in Prague since 1998.
