OVERVIEW

When Edie struggles to heal from the death of her dearest friend, she leaves New York City and seeks comfort and rest at her grandmother Punk’s home in Mississippi.  Having spent many summers there, it’s a dear and familiar place, and now infuses Edie with comfort, challenge and friendship.  Her ever-deepening conversations with Punk and her friends,  her out-of-the blue job that gives her great purpose, her rekindled friendship with a teenage love, and that strange light that she keeps hearing about – all create an unforgettable season in Edie’s life. 

ASSESSMENT

Rating:

4 out of 5

Suggested Audience:

Adults who love fiction

Christian Impact:

Hebrews 13:2 – “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.”
This is a fundamental verse in the story, and while not frequently discussed, the faith of the characters is obvious.
