Touching the Sky

Woven from the rhythms of two very different women's lives, Touching the Sky is a lyrical and deeply moving story of love, loss and personal redemption.

Melissa Sherman moved to the quiet town of Butterfield, amid the rugged mountains and lakes of Vermont, to escape the pain of a broken heart. Now she has built a life for herself and seems to have everything she could wish for: a beautiful home, good friends and a successful business. But she still feels a corrosive sense of loneliness. Something is missing from her life.

When she befriends Lisa, an exotic and talented young potter who has recently moved to the country with her husband Ben, Mel cannot help but be reminded of everything she has lost. But when Lisa's life is shattered by tragedy and Ben turns to Mel for reassurance, Mel finds herself drawn to him with an all-consuming passion that precludes all else.
