A compassionate memoir about a father's 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, Steph's lantern landed in Matt Mikalatos's 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 family's 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 yard—and the widespread and lasting impact his letter had—prove that the bond between a parent and their child can last forever.

      Narrator Kirby Heyborne honors this memoir with a calm tone and an even cadence that exude fatherly love and patience. Heyborne perfectly narrates the author's story of finding a fallen sky lantern on his property in Oregon; in it he found a message from a girl to her absent father: "Love you, Dad. Miss you so much. Steph" Through the Internet, he makes it his mission to find the girl who set it aloft. The story conveys the intense and sometimes complicated relationship between a father and his child. It's also filled with the warm details of the Mikalatos family's daily life. The search that began with a blog post was shared and translated into many languages, touching many hearts. It's sure to impact even more lives through this memorable audiobook. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine
