“A deeply moving, yet ultimately uplifting story. Bailey combines unimaginable loss with a message of hope and a truly original depiction of the afterlife. Written with grace and even humor, Crossing the Horizon is a must-read for anyone who has ever suffered the loss of a loved one.”
—Diane O’Connell, Editorial Director
“By telling the story from the boys’ point of view—turning it into the kind of fantasy they themselves would have loved—[Bailey] has made it not only possible for those of us who read it to bear the unbearable truth, but to share in the healing from tragedy that she began to discover as she imagined her sons’ quest to comfort their devastated parents.”
—From the book’s Foreword by Katherine Paterson, Author of Bridge to Terabithia
