"'Out of the Canyon' — to be published Tuesday, May 12 by Harmony Books, an imprint of Random House — tells the Dailys’ infinitely sad, improbably uplifting story. The book is one thing — a well-told account of a brave, unlikely recovery from the unthinkable. But stronger than words are the Dailys themselves..."
“Westlake native, husband turn tragedy to triumph”
"In 'Out of the Canyon: A True Story of Loss and Love' (Harmony Books, $24), the Dailys describe how they built a life out of the ruins of their pasts, a process that culminates in the birth of their two sons, Rider, now 12, and Burke, 11. Though there are some New Age-style passages that will try some readers' patience ('This is the magic of hope, the searing heat and glow of our eternal spirit'), there are also passages of brutal honesty."
