Chanson (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798385003136)

In 1930's France, Chanson is a seven-year-old film star who acts beside his mother in all of her films. Following a train crash and long illness, he must navigate a life of emotional turmoil and physical degradation. Chanson is bombarded with change after change, moving from a life of stardom in the cinema's Golden Age to life as a humble shepherd.
Just as the thickness of a brush stroke on canvas cannot be deciphered in its entirety, this child's shrinking family cannot be vulnerable unless you peel away at each layer of paint. Only then will you see the grief, burdens, fears, and love hidden in it all.
Amidst upheaval and want for security and hope, Chanson's story forms an impressionistic painting of joy amidst mourning, love, and the healing message of God's redeeming grace.
