". . . Unmasking the raw emotional experience of sudden tragic news and the agonizing process of grief that follows with the loss of a child, Chapman's fearless and inspiring account takes readers through every stage with a full heart and immersive narration. . . . Author Sherry Chapman writes with literary confidence that makes readers feel as though they are in safe hands, even through the darkest and most emotionally precarious moments of this hard-hitting reading experience. Readers who have experienced similar sudden tragedies are certain to take heart and support when reading Chapman's account, and for those lucky enough to be ignorant of the experience, it's a true window into the soul and psyche that, once read, cannot ever be forgotten . . . How Much Big Is the Sky: A Memoir of a Mother's Love and Unfathomable Loss is an incredible and highly emotive work of memoir that is sure to touch the heart of anyone that reads it."

"How Much Big Is the Sky spares no difficult details as it describes the darkest and most unimaginable corners of a parent confronting tragedy. Yet the book's jagged chronology mirrors the experience and leaves on the reader the indelible impression that this mother has faced reality with enormous courage, described it with disarming clarity, and provided us with clear-eyed perspectives and rays of hope . . . Thank you, Sherry, for endeavoring to write this book and delivering such compelling honesty."
