About
A triumphant story of a father and his little boy-and a love that knows no limits.
Rob Coates is a survivor.
He'd thought he'd won the lottery of life-a beautiful home, an incredible wife Anna, and their precious son Jack, who makes every day an extraordinary adventure. But when tragedy befalls his family, Rob becomes his own worst enemy, pushing away all he holds dear. With his world now suddenly just outside of his grasp, Rob turns to photography, capturing the beautiful skyscrapers and clifftops he used to visit-memories of the time when his family was happy. And just when it feels as though there's nowhere left to turn, Rob embarks on the most unforgettable of journeys to reclaim the joy and love he thought he'd lost.
Deeply emotional, beautifully written, and filled with tremendous heart, We Own the Sky is a soaring debut about the strength of the human spirit and the boundlessness of love. It is a stunningly honest reminder of life's greatest gifts, showing how even a broken heart can learn to beat again.

"Why do we think that women are more likely than men to write novels of such surpassing tenderness that they lift the heart and scald the heart at the same time? Luke Allnutt's debut novel We Own the Sky proves it's not always so. With literary chops and dramatic intensity, this heartbreaking story of a father's love that defies all reason takes off on the first page and never touches down."
Jacquelyn Mitchard, New York Times bestselling author The Deep End of the Ocean and Two if
"A breathtaking read that describes perfectly the joy and pain that comes with loving fully and all the compassion and forgiveness it requires. Brimming with hope to the very end."
Steven Rowley, national bestselling author of Lily and the Octopus
"[An] emotional novel of love, loss, and hope.... Allnutt, who began this book after he was diagnosed with colon cancer, teaches us to cherish the simple things in life and that sometimes the only way to keep going is to share your story.
