Can the best thing happen at the worst time? Her dad went crazy. Her mom left town. She has bills to pay and a little sister to look after. Now is not the time for level-headed seventeen-year-old Lucille to fall in love. But love—messy, inconvenient love—is what she’s about to experience when she falls for Digby Jones, her best friend’s brother. With blazing longing that builds to a fever pitch, Estelle Laure’s soulful debut will keep readers hooked and hoping until the very last page.
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about This Raging Light?
I have several, and they change depending on what mood I’m in or what I’m thinking about. Today, it’s Wren, Lucille’s little sister. She’s sort of my Winnie the Pooh character, in that everyone else in the story is grappling with their human condition and what to do in morally questionable situations and she just is. That doesn’t mean she’s always happy, but she is sort of zen. I want to hug her and/or keep her in my pocket (not in a creepy way).
