First in the To Touch the Sky trilogy –
Leslie lost her older sister and her sight to tragedy at the age of sixteen. Ten years have passed, yet Leslie still struggles daily with fear and depression, secluding herself from everyone except her father and a very small circle of close friends until she meets Owen, a workaholic Christian using his skills as a pilot in both his business and a missionary effort in the remote reaches of the Amazon. With the assistance of Owen’s office manager DeLois, Leslie discovers romance, but much more – a renewed faith in God – as she seeks physical healing and the inner strength and determination to conquer the most relentless of all adversaries – her own fears, personal self-doubts and insecurities.
Tragedy strikes once again as, while on her quest, Leslie is traveling with her father in his small plane and he becomes incapacitated. Overcome by a flood of swirling emotions, Leslie is left to keep the plane in the air, outrun a dangerous thunderstorm and, with Owen’s help by radio, attempt to successfully land the plane.
