VERSO L'ALTO. TO THE HEIGHTS.
This was Pier Giorgio Frassati's motto. But what could an athletic, mountain-climbing saint have to say to wheelchair-bound Miri?
When Miri's friend Daniel and his friends get a chance to go on a Pier Giorgio Frassati pilgrimage, they decide to invite Miri along, and show him just how high he can go.
The fifth book in the Friends in High Places series, The Higher We Go can be read on its own. The series is Parental Guidance since it contains some mature themes. This 2nd Edition features a new beginning.
The Higher We Go deftly brings the virtue of St. Pier Giorgio to life in a contemporary story set in the mountains he so loved. His story, and that of Miri and Daniel, will inspire readers to the bravery and acts of charity modeled by the young Italian saint.
CAROLYN ASTFALK, author of contemporary Catholic novel for teens, Rightfully Ours
An engaging story demonstrating the inspiration of a saint in helping someone achieve an unlikely goal.
CYNTHIA T. TONEY, author of the Bird Face series and The Other Side of Freedom
Friends in High Places is a short fiction series that presents saints' biographies in the context of imaginary teenagers' lives. The stories are written primarily to entertain, with inspiration and education thrown in for free!
