Where the Light Still Shines

Where the Light Still Shines is an inspirational Christian novel about a guilt-haunted

son and a flood-torn town who discover that grace writes the final word. Five years

after the accident that took his mother’s life and shattered his relationship with

his father, Daniel Pierce is drawn into Willow Bay’s recovery when catastrophic

flooding strikes. Amid volunteer efforts led by new pastor Jacob Reeves and a

resilient community, a life-or-death rescue ignites a chain of choices—sacrifice

for a friend, a courageous return to music, and a halting reconnection with his

father. As neighbors rebuild homes and hearts, Daniel learns that forgiveness is

not a verdict he earns but a gift he can receive—and give. For readers of Karen

Kingsbury and Charles Martin, this small-town story blends emotional depth,

quiet romance, and the transforming power of worship. It’s a tender reminder

that the light that finds us in our darkest hours is the same light we are called to

carry to others.
