Fiction

In A Week of Shadows and Light, the author presents a touching account of grieving, resilience and the human ability to recover.

David is adrift. Grieving the sudden death of his wife, Sarah, he now wallows in his own despair, his life teetering on the edge of vainness. Does he have the resolve to find purpose again in the week that will decide his fate? Feeling lost in the grip of depression, David encounters unexpected allies to help him rediscover his strengths.

Concentrating on the period that signals the height of his depression, this short story is a poignant tale of journeying from despair to the first bright rays of hope. Its disarming honesty and empathy vividly capture both the tragic complexity of mental health struggles and the simple beauty of human connection.

A Week of Shadows and Light reminds us to keep climbing that dark stair, even when we feel like we might fall. It extends its comforting, dancing darkness – its light-suffused shadow – to anyone who has loved and lost and gives inspiration to anyone confronting shadows.

This book focuses on the invisible battles fought daily by many and helps foster understanding and compassion.
