Exult — Joe Quirk

Is a full life worth an early death? Jack Ostruck loves hang gliding, but when someone he loves dies in a crash, the grieving mother demands that Jack come to the funeral and explain why flying is worth her child's death. Jack's search for the answer will take him to mortuaries, mountaintops, an eagle's nest, the heart of a storm, and finally to a funeral, where he delivers the answer.
