Many thanks to NetGalley, Lake Union Publishing, and Amanda Prowse for the opportunity to read and review her latest novel - loved it!
The story begins with an ending - Nick's wife, Kerry, is dying of cancer. Nick must now navigate life without the person that has been by his side since they were teenagers. He's left to take care of their now teenage son, Oliver, as he prepares to leave home to go to university. Nick and Oliver are both overwhelmed with loss and grief but eventually Nick sees a future ahead of him; Oliver and other family members aren't as happy. Each chapter ends with a look in the past as Nick and his 2 best friends live out their best summer.
I loved the title of this book - coming home to a light burning, knowing that there is someone inside waiting for you. Plus - there are loads of great parenting tips in this book! Just a wonderful, heartwarming story - just what you would expect from Amanda Prowse!
