The Light You Cast

The imagery and dialogue are what first brought me to this story. The author is poetic in their writing and this adds an important dimension to the tale. It’s hard to write about the ravages of domestic violence and the echoes of abuse’s aftermath. Ethan and Jonathan, along with Michael, will remain with you long after you’ve finished this satisfying read. 

You will really impressed with this author's first effort of this length if you didn't know  it you would think this was an experienced GA author with a number of stories under her belt. Our main character Ethan has had a couple of very harrowing incidents involving abuse  when he was a teenager in the aftermath he has spent half his life worried that one day the law might catch up to him.He find a out of the way place and goes under an assumed name when one day a person who was 12 years old  when he last saw him 10 years ago comes looking for him and finds him what follows is a bunch of twist and turns that will keep you riveted with characters that you come to care for.I gave this five stars not because it was a GA first time effort it is 5 stars on merit

A beautifully crafted tale of self-preservation and obsession, but also perseverance and possibility.
