Maybe? One day? A girl can dream while she brushes up on her photoshop skills. Fun fact: most of the elements in this poster relate to death concepts that appear throughout the book series. See if you can spot them and get Bingo as you read!
I’m sure a lot of writers have big dreams as they write – multi-million dollar book deals, fame and fortune, book tours and interviews on Oprah and the news. “This book will sweep the nation!” “It will change lives!” “I’m going to be so RICH!” Oh, and then it will become a movie, or a television series, and I’ll get to meet famous actors and directors, and go to award shows. I’ll meet musicians whose songs will appear in the production, and be on set while they create companion music videos. I’ll have a loyal army to defend me against the haters, which I will graciously dismiss. Not only will my social media blow up, but people will greet me in the streets, and tell me what my universe means to me. I’ll finally be able to show my small town and everyone who ever rejected me that I was worth something after all. And when I go to high school reunions? Girl, don’t even. I’ll be untouchable.

The darkness is often hidden in the light. The light can be blinding, and nothing is as innocent as it seems. In this dark and twisted tale, Lanie, Ben, and Jake must navigate life after they return from a disastrous mission trip in Somalia. Their small town of Kirkby, Alberta, is the root of the abuse and neglect that has wreaked havoc on their minds and shaken their belief in God. Eaten by guilt, Lanie must return to the seedy underbelly of her life to keep Ben safe from the danger that has brought them all home. Jake vowed to protect Ben from anyone, including Lanie, but finds it difficult not to answer the call from the sirens of his violent past. And Ben isn’t sure what Jake’s problem is, because he’s pretty sure Lanie is the answer to all his drunken prayers – no matter what she has to say about it. As they search for answers about love, faith, and life, these three are haunted by shared traumas that could destroy not only themselves, but each other, if they don’t face it once and for all.
