When the Sky Burned is an emotional journey that lingers in your soul. Liz Tolsma takes you through the raw aftermath of loss, questioning, and restoration. Mariah’s blindness, both physical and emotional, becomes a mirror for the brokenness we all face at some point. Through her, I felt the weight of despair that asks, “Why, God, why?” yet also the quiet whisper of hope, still and sure, even when we can’t see beyond our circumstances.
In moments when all seems lost, the characters’ dependence on God becomes a lifeline. Jay’s strength, his subtle courage, reminds us that true faith isn’t about grand gestures—it’s in the quiet acts of supporting others, obeying and trusting God no matter the outcome.
This story is set against a disaster and it explores the greater devastation we all experience at some point: the shattering of our plans, our identity, our expectations. Yet in the wreckage, this talented author paints a picture of renewal. The faith content is woven deeply throughout as the foundation for these characters’ strength. It’s a story that entertain while it stirs, challenges, and transforms the reader into deeper reflection on God’s grace and sovereignty.
There’s beauty in the brokenness, and this book reminded me of the power of faith to heal wounds the way that only God can.
