Sara Hanson spent years designing beautiful spaces while slowly disappearing inside her own life.
Divorced after twenty years of marriage, she is trying to rebuild a future for herself and her two teenage children.
The last thing she expects is that a school mural—and the quiet art teacher leading it—will remind her of the woman she used to be.
Robert has learned that life doesn’t always wait for those who hesitate.
A gifted painter and beloved teacher, he has spent years convincing himself that some dreams simply arrive too late.
Meeting Sara makes him question everything he thought he had accepted.
As old loyalties, family ties and unanswered regrets pull them in different directions, they must decide whether love is worth risking the lives they’ve carefully rebuilt.
Tender, hopeful and deeply human, Where the Light Falls is a novel about rediscovering yourself, finding joy in ordinary moments, and learning that the bravest thing we can do is choose happiness while there is still time.
