Joshua in the Sky

Joshua dies on his birthday.  
Joshua dies the day he is born.  
Joshua lives for three hours.  
Joshua is alive.

Rodge Glass’s nephew Joshua died the same day he was born, from a blood condition they both share. Joshua in the Sky charts the five years around Joshua’s life and death as Rodge attempts to make sense of this loss. A family memoir and a memorial to a short life, it asks the questions: Whose life deserved to be remembered? And how?
