Short description

Brian had always believed there had to be something more out there than just the dull and humdrum world he was used to. So when something magical was suddenly dropped in his lap, he wasn’t at all disbelieving, as some people might have been. When reality is harsh, you learn very quickly to look beyond it. This beautiful novel of love and redemption will make you ponder what truly matters.

Extended description

Brian Stone's life isn't easy. Abandoned by his father, abused by his alcoholic mother, and mocked by his classmates, his only treasures are his beloved little brother and his old guitar.

Then Brian finds a magical amulet in his attic, and things begin to change. Soon he has more power and wealth than he's ever dreamed of, and for a while all seems to be well. But Brian has made a terrible mistake which may cost him everything, and his only hope is to seek out the Fountain at the Heart of the World, wherever that may be. And if he fails, then it will mean the death of every person he loves, and maybe even his own. . .

Unclouded Day is a beautiful tale of sacrifice and redemption. Contains light Christian themes.

Review by: Amy Magaw on Dec. 26, 2012 :
I am an older reader, and I must say that I absolutely LOVED this book that is geared to the young adult. What a journey! I love how the author writes with real-life, not larger-than-life, characters that young people can identify with. The protagonist, Brian Stone, age 14, has grown-up before his time due to his dysfunctional home life, but thanks to the Grace of God, his heart had not hardened. However, as we learn in the story, even the best of intentions that are not fully thought out can lead to serious consequences. Brian leads us on a heart-felt, adventurous quest to right his wrongs. I was reading the story so intensely, that I became physically cold at reading about the icy mountain waters, and I felt as though I was right there in the action. I didn't want to put it down! Thank you, Mr. Woodall for a great book!
