Insight into Joy Through Suffering

You may have heard a song called "Clouds" by Zach Sobeich or seen a video about him and his family. I had not done either of those until I was about halfway through the book Fly A Little Higher written by Zach's mother, Laura.
I have to admit the book was a little bit out of my stylistic preference, but it was good. It went on a little too long for me, but otherwise I have no complaints about it. Laura Sobeich did a great job of capturing the life of their family, the difficulties and the joys surrounding the life and death of her son Zach.
I could relate to Zach somewhat from the musical aspect, and I admit I was somewhat jealous of all the opportunities he had musically. I was also envious of his attitude towards life, his care for others. The book paints a great picture of a great family, while including some of the raw emotion and authentic feelings.
It is a book worth reading. Will it change your life? Maybe. Maybe not.
I am glad I was given the opportunity to read this book by BookLook Bloggers who provided it free for review.
