Children of Light is a collection of 29 short stories that celebrate the quiet and
private, often unnoticed vicissitudes of life, a little treasure trove of
suburban America in lush, thoughtful, beautiful prose featuring characters who
face life-changing challenges, heartbreaks, and uneasy love.
This collection of short stories examines
close up and with stark reality the challenges we all face in our complicated
modern lives. From the opening story “A Matter of Trust” where a woman meets an
itinerate preacher who just might be the devil to “Miracles”, about a devoted
parish priest whose heroism costs him everything, and from an American
archeologist in Greece who perhaps stumbles onto an ancient spirit in “Blue
Monkey Oracle” to an elderly couple facing their mortality in “Orange Juice and
Seat Warmers: A Love Story” and a teenage boy traumatized by his mother’s death
in “Garrett’s Ghost”, this carefully crafted snatch of tightly-packed stories
deals with racism, death, first love, homelessness, gender identity, coming of
age, and more issues that contemporary people must face.
