Amazon Sample Chapter of A Piece of the Sky Cook Communication Ministries Category:  Inspirational Publisher: RiverOak ISBN-10:  1589190505 Type: Fiction Pages: 320 Copyright: 2005 The woman who has everything wants one more small thing, and she's willing to risk everything to get it... Excerpt I am barren. The old-fashioned words echoed in my mind. Infertile wouldn't suffice. It doesn't project the same emptiness, the great bleakness of a desert that stretches beyond eyesight. Barren.

Ray Blackston, author of Flabbergasted Trilogy
"Michelle Buckman has created a soul-stirring tale of a marriage about to crack and a couple searching for its glue. Hidden truths abound in this well-crafted and riveting debut."

Natalie Collins, author of Wives & Sisters
"In A Piece of the Sky, author Michelle Buckman offers up a totally enthralling book with flawed--but loveable--characters who make you want to cry, cheer, pull your hair out and then go back for more. I never thought I would pick this book up, and be unable to put it down, but that's what happened. Buckman is a great talent."

Jody Ewing, The Weekender
“This is no ordinary novel. I've never had to deal with infertility, yet the story is ‘my’ story, it's my mother's story; it's my father's story…universal. [Buckman’s] writing is simply beautiful—striking chords again and again… poetic, lyrical, literary (in the highest praise of literary fiction), and captured my heart and soul from page one. One of the top three books I've read in the past five years. …a masterpiece.”
