    About this audiobook

    A blinding flash … then darkness.

    Bria Ford and her three closest friends are stranded on a country highway in the middle of a November night. No phones. No car. No lights.

    Helpless and hundreds of miles from home, they put their lives in the hands of handsome Jonah Page and his flinty sister, East, strangers who somehow know Bria better than she knows herself. As the group bonds to adapt to a new, yet old, way of life, the secrets of Bria’s past provide them with the means to survive the extremes of Mother Nature, and the even more frightening extremes of human nature. 

    Quietly suspenseful, The Light explores how the stories we tell ourselves shape the person we present to the world, and what happens to that person when the world falls away.

      The book was great. A lot of Catholic references. I'm not Catholic, but they were a reflection of the character's beliefs, which also shaped their characters (just like in real life), so I didn't mind. The audio book needed to be played faster than normal because the person reading was a little slower than I prefer. I think I did 1.25 speed or something like that.

      Excellent work Mrs Brown - I did not want it to end but I knew it had to because I couldn’t put it down; actually I listened to it - excellent narrator as well.

      I am a Catholic and I loved the Catholicism depicted in your story.

      Such a creative and engaging work; I learned a lot about the way things used to be; i.e, how meat was stored. I am a man, I enjoy learning how a woman views things.

      Thank you so much, you have such a gift, may God bless and keep you!
