Jamie Gilmour is starting over. A new school, a new city, a tenth attempt at a second start. All he has to do is stop making bad decisions and stick to something for once in his life. All he has to do is stop being himself.
Jude Pujari is thinking of calling it all off. He's overstressed, depressed and frozen in place, trapped by grief and fear of change. He doesn't exactly want to die—but he's not sure he wants to live.
When Jamie gets a job at Jude's family bookstore and crash lands into his life, all the stories they tell themselves come crumbling down. If they want to make it through, Jamie has to stop running, and Jude has to stop hiding.
THERE IS A LIGHT is a Scottish New Adult novel that follows Jude and Jamie through 80s music, childrens' fiction, communism and climate change as they figure out if it's really possible to start over, and if life is safe to live.
