A Light in the Dark

“A Light in the Dark puts the story of unimaginable crime exactly where it belongs: with the victims, not the monster. Kleiner and Lucchesi bear witness and speak for those who cannot. Unflinching, resolute, and above all compassionate, Kleiner and Lucchesi give us a powerful story about the resilience of the human soul.” —Arnie Bernstein, author of Bath Massacre: America’s First School Bombing and other books

"A coming-of-age narrative wrapped inside a survivor's testimony, Kleiner and Lucchesi put another crack in the myth of Ted Bundy not just with Kleiner's own life story, but also the stories of the other women and girls who met with Bundy's violence. Full of everyday details and poignant honesty, A Light in the Dark reclaims the focus for this unfortunate sisterhood, a group who have also been mythologized over the decades and who have been waiting so long to step into the light shone so beautifully by Kleiner." —David Nelson, author of Boys Enter the House

"In a genre that’s been overwhelmed with Ted Bundy’s poisonous tale, at last we get an antidote: a full-length memoir from one of his victims, arguing that she’s so much more than one of his victims. A compelling and encouraging account of survival from someone who’s been the footnote in a serial killer’s story for far too long." —Tori Telfer, author of Lady Killers and Confident Women

"An inspiring addition to the true crime space, A Light in the Dark rewrites broken narratives around a serial killer." —Foreword Reviews

“In A Light in the Dark Kleiner and Lucchesi underscore that in a very short time span a killer can either take or alter one’s life forever. In this era with the fascination of the true crime genre, Kleiner emphasizes she is a real person who is more than a survivor of Ted Bundy. Kleiner not only survived the night of his horrifying attack at her sorority house, but has continued to survive and thrive while dealing with the trauma of that night. A must read for anybody who wants to better understand the impact serial predators have on victims and their loved ones.” —Paul Holes, author of Unmasked: My Life Solving America’s Cold Cases
