A compassionate memoir about a fatherтАЩs relationship with his children, the healing power of a small act of kindness, and the proof that love is everlasting.
Love you, Dad. Miss you so much. Steph.
A brokenhearted daughter scribbled those words on a sky lantern before sending it off to her father in heaven who had passed away. Halfway across the country, StephтАЩs lantern landed in Matt MikalatosтАЩs yard.
As a father of three daughters, Matt could not let that heart-wrenching note unanswered, so he posted an open letter to her on his blog, which went viral overnight. Little did he know how that small act of kindness would lead him to the real Steph and change his familyтАЩs life in remarkable ways.
A poignant and lyrical account of the beauty and wonder found in domestic life, Sky Lantern shows how the miraculous events that followed Matt finding the sky lantern in his yardтАФand the widespread and lasting impact his letter hadтАФprove that the bond between a parent and their child can last forever.
