E. C. Colton grew up in the busy suburbs of California with a contemplative country soul and a head filled with stories. As the author of Shards of Sky and a student at the Author Conservatory, she writes stories that illustrate the raw, difficult journey that is life, while also reflecting the genuine hope that brings purpose from pain and threads people together. 

You can find her obsessing over all things blue food and cats, spouting literary controversy, and chatting about mental health and personal growth over on Instagram (@eccoltonauthor) or her mailing list, Elysfable.

blurb

Will hope prove itself worth fighting for?

Nestled within the mountains of Colorado, life is anything but perfect for two children and their negligent aunt. Yet it becomes even more of a disaster when a mysterious accident leaves Aryon mute and Jenn terrified for their futures. Battling her own sorrow, bitterness, and distant memories, Jenn journeys through the mountains of Colorado in search of their father, who may only be as real as a wisp of mist. The biggest things standing in her way are the miles of seemingly endless forest, her shattered memories, and a mysterious woman trailing her.

As she journeys on, Jenn is forced to confront her past. Has time changed her memories? What will it take to be strong and unhindered by the darkness around her? And does this woman hold the key to her past—her real past?


But no matter where Jenn goes, a shard of sky shines bright overhead as a distant reminder of the hope she’s fighting to hold onto—and the person she could become.

Heart-wrenching and emotionally moving, this story delivers a powerful message of courage and the wonder of hope.
