Description
Just when her life comes crumbling down, she discovers secrets that could shape her future--and heal her past.
When Edie Gardner's life in New York falls apart, her grandmother Adele "Punk" Cheramie coaxes her back to tiny Bayou du Chêne, Mississippi. Edie spent many happy summers there, a stone's throw from untamed Horn Island, where she once found love. Can she now demystify the island's strange new light?
Punk and her colorful friends introduce Edie to the Trove, a fascinating gallery and antique shop. Like Horn Island's light, The Trove has appeared out of nowhere. Its proprietor, with a gift for discerning his customers' needs, gives Edie a Victorian parlor game that asks players a series of personal questions, which is harmless fun at first. But Edie and her grandmother's circle find that the game has a way of uncovering secrets, including a heartbreak that has haunted one of the women for decades. Banding together, this Southern sisterhood is determined to find answers that will bring healing, hope, and happiness--and maybe explain the transcendent illumination of a wild and windswept barrier island.
"Luesse is a masterful Southern storyteller, bringing to life characters and a setting brimming with whimsy and heart. Don't miss this one."--T. I. LOWE, internationally bestselling author
"The Light on Horn Island will take you on a page-turning exploration of multigenerational friendships that are tender, mysterious, and full of wit and charm. You won't be able to put this book down until all the pieces fall into place."--AMANDA COX, Christy Award-winning author
Tying together themes of sisterhood, self-discovery, and redemption, bestselling author Valerie Fraser Luesse pens another inspirational Southern Christian fiction story perfect for book clubs.
