Product Description
Product Description
On a crisp winter’s day in Glenwood Canyon, Colorado, Art Daily suffered a terrible tragedy. While driving home with his family from a youth hockey game, a large boulder dislodged from the canyon wall and struck their car, killing his wife and two sons–while leaving him inexplicably untouched. In one instant, Art’s entire life crumbled, leaving him feeling utterly alone. As family, friends, and the entire Aspen community rushed in to offer comfort and support, Art faced what he imagined to be a bleak and lonely future. But what he found surprised him: the healing power of a stranger’s grace.
That stranger was Allison, a twenty-eight-year-old Texan who had stopped in Aspen on her way to a new life. Allison was a woman struggling with her own grief following her older brother’s suicide and the end of her marriage. When she heard of Art’s tragedy, she felt compelled to reach out to him, a person whom she had never met but with whom she identified deeply. Art and Allison forged a close friendship, tending to each other’s wounds and eventually falling in love and starting a family. And through it all, the living memory of Art’s wife and sons guided and comforted them.
Out of the Canyon is the inspiring story of how two people found the courage to move on after profound heartbreak. Art and Allison teach us that it is not only possible to live through such turmoil, but to embrace life anew. And, with humility and understanding, they offer direct insight and advice on what truly helped them deal with irreversible change and how we can do the same.

A Must Read for Anyone Who Is Human
26 May 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a book that touches to the soul. Art and Allison's story exemplifies that not only grief and sadness but also deep healing and growth can come out of unimaginable tragedy. And that the process is about feelings and tears and love and anger and honesty and love and not knowing how to be and wondering how to go on and love and letting friends in and letting them see you and love. It is about being human in the face of unspeakable grief. And it is about love.
I cannot recommend a book more highly than I do this one. It is a book that will tear at your heart and elevate your spirit. For anyone who is dealing with their own humanness - read this book and celebrate life!

Undescribable gripping and beautiful
1 Aug 2009
Format:Hardcover
I love this book. As a talk radio host it's my "job" to be prepared and do the "research". This amazing book had me (as well as my family) in the palm of its hand. We cried, we laughed and we glowed all along the way. My two children begged me to read more. By the end of the story I had a sense of peace, inspiration and awe over the beauty of the depth of grief, love and community. Perfect for anyone who is going through a loss, has gone through a loss, and wants to be inspired through the grief of death. Yes...perfect for nearly everyone. Oprah where are you, on this one!
