    About this ebook

    Christi Randolph is a strong-willed sixteen-year-old free spirit who is facing family decisions that will result in disrupting her whole life. Her trip to the beach with her aunt is an escape from the stress of it all. Ben, whose family was killed in a tragic boating accident, is staying with the Carltons, friends who live next door to their beach home in South Carolina. When their paths cross, sparks will not only fly but Christi also discovers there is something very strange happening . . . and Ben is a part of it. The quest plunges her into a mystery that will leave her with more questions than answers but will awaken her purpose and sense of belonging. The Light is a YA Science-Fantasy where the readers become part of the adventure and leaves them excited to see what happens next.

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      Supportive Husband
