Summary
In this heartrending story about healing from past mistakes, two estranged friends face the twenty-year-old accident that forced them apart—and the consequences of the secret that still haunts them.
Twenty years ago, an out-of-control prank ended in an accident that destroyed the high school gym and threatened the futures of star athletes Beth and Ally. They move on with their lives carrying their secret while someone else is blamed, but the years reveal that no one truly comes out unscathed.
Now, both women are at a crossroads: Beth returns to her hometown after a concussion ends her professional soccer career, and a surprise pregnancy disrupts Ally’s idyllic family. The only thing either of them are sure of is their desire to mend their estranged relationship.
But the old friends aren’t just battling new problems when their former classmate Jordan begins to investigate the crime for which his father was convicted. As their secret comes back around to threaten their futures once more, Beth and Ally will have to decide whether to run away from the truth again or face it once and for all.
Critic reviews
“An enthralling and moving glimpse into the world of professional soccer, Light of the Fire is a beautifully written story of true friendship and facing the mistakes of the past.”—Lyn Liao Butler, Amazon bestselling author of Someone Else's Life
“A deftly crafted, moving novel of friendship and family, the weight of long-kept secrets, and the healing power of owning up to our mistakes. Absorbing, heartrending, and ultimately hopeful, Light of the Fire is unputdownable.”—A. J. Banner, #1 Kindle, Publishers Weekly, and USA Today bestselling author
“When fear and guilt drive best friends and budding soccer stars Ally and Beth to keep a terrible secret, that secret shapes the rest of their lives. Light of the Fire is a rich and beautifully written story about loss, family, friendship, and forgiveness, and what compels us to own up to our mistakes. I thoroughly enjoyed!”—Kerry Lonsdale, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and Amazon Charts bestselling author
