Beth's husband won't be joining the family on
vacation at the beach this year. He's not even joining them in the house.
Instead, Rick has holed up alone in the backyard shed. Nobody knows exactly what
he's up to. Maybe he's immersing himself in prayer. Maybe he's lost his mind.
Maybe he's even the modern-day prophet or the saint the neighborhood artist
imagines him to be. But while "St. Rick" waits for an epiphany, Beth will have
to figure out what to do with herself and their teenage sons, possibly for the
rest of her life.
What happens next is both uproarious and
bittersweet: a peace march turns violent, her son is caught with drugs, and she
embarks on an ambitious road trip that turns into something nearly surreal. Will
Beth rediscover the idealistic woman she used to be, once upon a time? Can her
marriage survive Rick's backyard vigil? Will anything ever be the same? And
should it be?
Truthful, comic, heartbreaking, and magical in
the very best sense of the word, The Sky Beneath My Feet gently tears the
veil off our egos and expectations to reveal the throbbing, redemptive, and
achingly beautiful life beyond and within us.

The Christy-award winning author of Christianity
Today’s Novel of the Year Quaker Summer, Lisa Samson has been
hailed by Publishers Weekly as one of the “most powerful voices in
Christian fiction." She lives in Kentucky with her husband and three
kids.
Lisa will knock your socks of with this fun
read.
You will soon find the main character Beth to
be your best friend. Her life is turned upside down and she is having to run the
house by herself while her husband runs in the back yard and lives in the shed.
Yes I said lives in the shed.
This book was so predictable, right up my
ally. I don't want to read a book where I know everything that is going to
happen.
I recommend this book to those who love a fun
read.
I gave this book 4 stars
