In 1990, Allison lost her brother, Rod, to suicide. Five years later a boulder slid down a slope in Glenwood Canyon, Colorado, killing Art's wife and sons, leaving him unscathed ... except for his heart.

​

In the book, Out of the Canyon, these two brave souls share their search for hope, healing and love at a time when continuing to live was a daily choice.

​

This inspirational and heart-wrenching tale almost seems to have been a fictional story created for film. With a picture-perfect family, a horrible tragedies, and a fairy tale love, the story of Art and Allison will make you believe in magic, resilience, faith and love.

​

Unfortunately, Art passed away peacefully in his sleep on December 7, 2020.
