Publisher's Synopsis
Thirteen-year-old Joel wakens in the night overcome by fear. His only release is fleeing to the reservoir, where he searches the night sky to find a measure of peace. With a preoccupied father and a deceased mother, Joel has difficulty knowing where to turn. Yet events conspire to lead Joel towards answers... a coded note, a mother's most precious belonging, dreams and extraordinary visions. Amid the explosion of good, Joel finds there are still many battles to face. His discoveries put him at odds with a world system, and, most distressingly, with his only family - his father. Nothing is certain and even friends might not be what they seem. Joel's journey leads him to rely on a growing faith and to recognize that still, small voice within to overcome his fears.
