A Light in the Forest by Melissa Payne
4.0
This book was fantastic. It was emotional and suspenseful and had me wanting for more.
Vega is escaping an abusive relationship with her young baby in tow. She ends up in a small town in Ohio where her vagabond mother had lived years ago. Once in town Vega is overwhelmed with the hospitality and empathy exhibited by most of the people who live there. However, even small towns have secrets that they’d rather stay hidden, and Vega learns that this towns secret may be linked to her.
I got lost in the atmosphere in this book. The writing was so well done that you felt right there with Vega along her journey in Ohio. This story was beautiful and just so grand. There were some triggers in this book so do make sure to check those out beforehand. Also, I felt that at time this book went a little overboard with the small-town stereotypes. Which while fine, got a tad annoying. I would recommend this book to those looking to escape in an emotional heartbreaking journey.
