"WHEN LIGHT BREAKS is a passionate, unforgettable novel of self-discovery, regret and the illuminating power of love. Patti Callahan Henry's writing is as lush and magical as the lowcountry she loves. Once caught in the emotional currents of her story, you'll not be released until the last, satisfying page. "
