This story is about Cullen Witter and Benton Sage. Two separate lives that are on a collision course with each other. Cullen lives in Lily, Arkansas. A small town with not a whole lot to do, that is until someone spots the Lazarus woodpecker, then the entire town goes woodpecker crazy. In the middle of this craziness Cullen's younger brother, Gabriel, goes missing. Cullen is heartbroken. Now for Benton Sage; he is a missionary in Africa whose father is an overbearing and critical man. Benton is searching for a purpose to his life. How do their lives intersect? Well you will just have to read the book.
I liked this book; however the connection between Benton and Cullen seemed a little farfetched. It is a story of first love, friendship, loss and hope. If you like John Green you will like this book.
