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.
