But she is unprepared when life flips to the down side. Yet with the help of two unconventional guides who understand the onset of her bipolar moods, she learns her light can shine again.”Other works by DeMoss Smith include Reflections of the Heart, What Our Animal Companions Tell Us and award-winning documentaries, such as the Cable Ace (Emmy) winner A Different Kind of Mayor: Gussie McRobert. Light Fixtures is the first of a series of YA books defining Aurora’s journey.view less
