I have recently read a really, really good book that I have fallen in love with. It is by Karen Kingsbury, and called Just Beyond The Clouds. It is the sequel to A Thousand Tomorrows, which is also really good.
This book is about Cody Gunner, a professional Bull Rider, who after the death of his first wife is finding his life torn to pieces. Ali, his wife, had died from Cystic Fibrosis, and that story is in A Thousand Tomorrows. Cody now comes home to find his younger brother, who has Down syndrome, going to a school for people like himself. He doesn't want his brother to be hurt or get crazy ideas about living on his own in his head, and therefore is mad at the Teacher, Elle Dalton. But as the story unfolds, the two find they have more in common that they thought. They both having a sibling with Down Syndrome, Elle's younger sister Daisy and Cody’s Brother Carl Joseph (C.J.) being really good friends, and both Elle and Cody have been heartbroken through romantic love, Elle being walked away from on her wedding day four years ago. It is an excellent book, and I recommend it to anyone, especially those who love Karen Kingsbury’s books.
