When the Sky Opens

0/5 ( ratings)

Not long after his twelfth birthday, Job Davies, an overweight loner and book addict, stumbles upon Muddy Rivers, a one hundred and five-year-old farmer and born storyteller, who changes his life forever. Three years later, Job is ninety-eight pounds, with barely enough strength to pick up a pen to write, or pick up a basketball. Job's future as a writer and professional basketball player are in jeopardy. As secrets from Muddy's past surface, Job has nightmares of a washed-up painter who lives inside a crooked jade locust tree with his Memory Thieves. Fighting for his life at Cotton Dust Texas hospital, Job meets the spirit of Muddy's true love, who gives him two choices: He can travel with her on a death-defying journey to find his destiny and fulfill Muddy's last two wishes, or he can return to his old ways and die. What will Job choose?
