Five years ago, Benji Green lost his beloved father, Big Eddie, when his truck crashed into a river. Everyone called it an accident, but Benji knows it was more. Even years later, he's buried in his grief, throwing himself into managing Big Eddie's convenience store in the small-town of Roseland, Oregon. Surrounded by his mother and three aunts, he lives day to day, struggling to keep his head above water. But Roseland is no ordinary place. With ever more frequent dreams of his father's death and waking visions of feathers on the river's surface, Benji finds his definition of reality bending. He thinks himself haunted; by ghosts or memories, he can no longer tell. Not until a man falls from the sky, leaving the burning imprint of wings on the ground, does Benji begin to understand that the world is more mysterious than he ever imaginedâand more dangerous. As uncontrollable forces descend on Roseland, they reveal long-hidden truths about friends, family, and the stranger Callielâa man Benji can no longer live without.… (mehr)

It took me a month to finish reading this book. It's not short, and it's emotionally weighty, and Christian theology often annoys me. That it's earned four stars from me anyway is saying a lot. I'm not going to try to spell it all out. I will say that you may abandon the book due to some repetition, or because it is just too heavy for you at that time, but it won't be because the thing is shallow. It's deep enough to drown in. Watch your step (pace yourself if it's too intense). That's what I did. ( )

SO.

Finished it and I'm not sure how I feel bout it.

This book was friggin long. And over-the-top dramatic and angsty, and that's coming from a person who's swallowing Amy Lane's books like candies.

The story was good and interesting and touching and made me cry and all that. The ending made me roll my eyes, but that's okay. But that doesn't mean I wasn't relieved when it was over, relieved that it was finally done. It's like I had a cramp the whole time I was reading it and now that it's over I can finally relax.

It's the same thing as with Burn.

I so need something short and light right now. ( )

You feel the heartache, the helplessness, the despair over and over. There were doses of humor here and there to give us a break from the weeping and sniffling. Solid book I'm glad I didn't read the blurb or any of the spoilers. Though I kind of guessed who was the big bad guy in the book; but it didn't ruin it for me. I rarely find books about the love between father and son. You feel how strong is this love. From flashbacks in Benji's mind. Usually I don't like books filled with flashbacks, but in this case didn't feel like imposition.

I will need the fluffiest silliest book to read after this one. Or just a book I read before with a HEA. ( )

Original comments from June 30, 2014:

What to say about a book that rips you emotionally on every level and leaves you wanting more. This book did just that for me. An absolutely beautiful book about love, hope, faith and acceptance.

While this book is the winner of the 2014 Lambda Literary Award Winner for Best Gay Romance, I have to say that this award is selling this book short and honestly could be the best Romance period that I have read.

This book has a fantastic spiritual element to it too which crosses into fantasy...leaving me questioning if this could really happen...I want to believe it possible.

I am going to close this review with a beautiful song Lifeline" from Mat Kearney which I listened to yesterday and which for me is the perfect companion to this experience.
