Harvest House
Claire Holland has a loving husband, beautiful children, and a life
as predictable and safe as any woman can imagine. Then one
night, when returning to her car after a quick shopping trip to the
local mall, everything changed.
Kate Holland looks back at that night in her mother's life and knows
it was a turning point. Their safe world was destroyed as
choices were made that would forever affect the future of the entire
family.
This is an amazing story of sacrifice and redemption and is told by
two women - mother and daughter - in their own unique and decisive
voices. It's a story about dreams coming true...and why about
asking why the sky is blue.

Meissner's Why the Sky Is Blue is about a high-school English
teacher, Claire Holland, who is raped. After recovery, she discovers
she's pregnant. Her husband, Dan, doesn't want the child. Claire has
a history of miscarriages and hopes she'll have another but can't
bring herself to abort the fetus. At last she gives birth, and the
child is perfect, raising the question, Was it the Lord's blessing
that Claire was raped? Meissner's story really made me think about
why bad things happen to good people and how the outcome of negative
life issues can work together for our own good.
