Summary of Mary Pipher's A Life in Light

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 When I was five, my family was in a difficult situation. My father had signed up for the army just as the United States entered the Korean War. He had been home once in the three years since he had left in the fall of 1949. Mother was always busy, and we children were left with housekeepers who could not satisfy our mother’s standards.

#2 I remember the most beautiful thing I had ever seen was the fountain at the train station. I would spend hours watching the lights dance in the water, and eventually, it would be time to go home.

#3 When my father returned from the Korean War, he was not used to being a father. He had been living with army men who in their rare free hours drank, played cards, and explored local nightlife. He and my mother fought every evening.

#4 I remember the trailer I lived in with my father, which was small and dark. I felt uneasy in it. My father was rarely there, and when he was, he would bring us food or groceries, but other times he would just leave us there.
