The Call by Yannick Murphy

The warm, wry, and patient voice of a veterinarian father tells the heartfelt story of his young New England family enduring a moving trial of loyalty, hope, and faith after they are confronted with an unthinkable crisis.

Their 12 year old son is shot and is in a coma after being shot during hunting season.  The hunter was in the woods behind their house.  The story is told by terse, log-like entries.  Weird and unusual, but effective, way of telling the story. The story itself was mostly good with a bit of wierdness included with the appearance of a spaceship that hovers over their house.
