BENEATH THE GREATER SKY was named One of the Best Books of 2015 by Kirkus Reviews: “An exciting, elegant novel that uses painful realities to create a powerful tale about the nature of relationships.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Ryan Quinn is a young man with a deep love of family and tradition who lives in a quaint suburb of Chicago with his expectant wife. Their domestic tranquility is shattered when his wife loses the baby: their marriage suffers, and divorce soon follows. Faced with the rapid uncoupling of his family and life, Ryan drops everything to travel to Wyoming when he receives the news that his grandfather (now his only connection to family) has been hospitalized. He brings along a keepsake quilt originally intended for his daughter, which he plans to bury in the mountains in an act of finally accepting her death. But Jackson Hole holds its own dark struggles: the small town is gripped by the mystery surrounding a missing girl. In a case of mistaken identity, Ryan becomes the target of both the police and the girl’s unbalanced brother. Even though local tensions rise, Ryan chooses to remain in Jackson Hole, determined to help his grandfather recover and to stay connected to the only family that remains in his life. When Ryan decides to hike into the backcountry wilderness to bury his quilt, a disturbing confrontation on the trail sparks a series of violent, unstoppable events. ebook available on iTunes, Amazon, Nook, Kobo Hardcopy available on TheBookPatch.com or Schuler Books & Music
