"My heart has reshaped a thousand broken pieces, and for every moment I still want to heal him, there are a thousand when I know he's perfect exactly as he is." Set between the summers of 1998 and 2005 in Cardiff, "Blue Sky July" is the true story of Nia, whose son Joe suffers a devastating brain injury. Through her intimate day-by-day musings, the book explores the impact of the tragedy on Nia's home life, love life, friendships and connection to the world, as the most extraordinary relationship unfolds between herself and Joe. Lyrical, inspiring and utterly compelling, Nia Wyn's powerful yet acutely sensitive account of her experiences will make an indelible impression on all who read it. A testament to the power of a mother's unconditional love for her son, "Blue Sky July" is a book that deserves to be read by everyone.
