"I'll tell you what, " Daddy said, taking Bodi's hand and giving it a squeeze. "Because I'm going first, when I die and see God, I'll send you a message. "You will?" Bodi asked, surprised.

"I'll tell you what, " Daddy said, taking Bodi's hand and giving it a squeeze. "Because I'm going first, when I die and see God, I'll send you a message. "You will?" Bodi asked, surprised. "And what message will you send me?" Daddy didn't answer right away. He appeared to be deep in thought. "I'll send you a feather," he finally decided. Bodi had hoped for something a little more spectacular. "I want you to remember something," he told her gently. "I will always be with you, no matter what. Not even death will change that. But most of all, and even more important, no matter how bad things get, God will always be there for you. " Life is beautiful for fifteen-year-old Bodi Brooks. She has a wonderful family, a loyal friend, her poetry, her music, and best of all, her daydreams. Everything in her life is perfect...except for school. And her bratty cousin Staci. And that annoying boy, Syd. And the fact that the most handsome boy in the world, Freddie, doesn't know she exists. And, of course, the Vietnam War. Other than that, though, Bodi has no complaints. Just when Bodi feels life is at its best, adversity strikes. When a quick succession of tragedies crush Bodi's perfect world, Bodi is left with a pile of broken dreams as well as faith-threatening questions. Does God exist, or is he really only the product of someone's pitiful yearning and imagination? Can people be trusted, or will everyone sooner or later break their word? Do miracles really happen - and if they do, can they happen to someone like her? In this touching story, the reader will learn with Bodi that although life doesn't always turn out the way we want, it doesn't mean that it can't still be good. Against an Amber Sky is the story of a young girl who learns the importance of integrity and comes to feel the love of God as she discovers the reality of miracles.
