From The Brighter the Light author Mary Ellen Taylor comes an uplifting tale of hope and love between a mother and daughter as they learn that life is a masterpiece in the making.

When artist Dani Manchester learns she’s slowly losing her vision, she becomes unmoored. Her ex-husband died only months before, leaving Dani and her preteen daughter grief stricken. Suddenly, the life Dani built for her family on the Outer Banks feels like a painful reminder of all they’ve lost.

On a whim, Dani sells her waterfront home and buys an old farm inland near the Virginia state line. But Dani’s daughter recoils at the sudden, drastic change. The Outer Banks’ sun-swept beaches, pink dawns, and savage storms are all she’s ever known.

But Dani is resolute, and the pair move to Virginia to embark on a challenging renovation. That summer, their efforts to turn a run-down silo into an art studio bring forth new friends, new loves, and new challenges.

As mother and daughter navigate the fiercest storm of their lives, they learn that instead of waiting for the skies to clear, they can withstand the wind and rain, so long as they do it together.

Dani is renovating silos for an art gallery on the outer Banks of NC. Her ex-husband’s death has devastated their 12 year old daughter. There is also a hunky boat builder carrying his own burdens. A youth grief camp brings clarity to adults, too.
Excellent descriptions of grieving and including helpful grief suggestions to us, as readers. As the mother of a son who died of cancer at 28, 4 years ago, I know whereof I speak.

Excellent for Grievers

Overall, I enjoyed this book, and I thought the author did a good job on helping the reader understand how difficult it is to navigate through personal loss. This story only covers a very short time span and it was a bit hard for me to connect to the characters when I only got a glimpse of them in a 2 week-month time period.

Interesting Grieving Themes

Very repetitive story of loss and grief with very annoying preteen behavior tossed in combined with inferred ghost. Just a mess of a book.

Just an ongoing tale of grief and loss.

The story plot was blah, very boring, not an engaging plot. I really wanted to like this book but I couldn’t…

The narrator made it bearable!

Not the author’s best. Story very predictable. Not much of a climax. Finished the book but was not a book I can’t stop listening to. However, the narrator was wonderful.
