How Much Big Is the Sky is Sherry Chapman's searingly melodic and eloquent love song to her teenage son, Ryan, following his sudden death resulting from a car crash.

(Midwest Book Review); and as "...heart-wrenching, descriptive, and powerful...with striking lyricism..." (The BookLife Prize); and as "...a brave recollection of a shattering loss..."
