My Review
Light From Distant Stars is my introduction to this authors work. I would call it emotional and edgy. Definitely not my usual type of read. This is a sad book making you question at times what is real and what is not. Stepping over the body of his father triggers emotional questions about his past. A flood of memories ensues. What of these suppressed memories are actually real and what is not? Thought provoking story on the struggle of a father- son relationship in the past and present. Published July 16th 2019 by Fleming H. Revell Company. I was given a complimentary copy of this book. Thank you. All opinions expressed are my own.
GoodReads Summary
When Cohen Marah steps over his father's body in the basement embalming room of the family's funeral home, he has no idea that he is stepping into a labyrinth of memory. As the last one to see his father, Cohen is the primary suspect. Over the next week, Cohen's childhood memories come back in living color. The dramatic events that led to his father being asked to leave his pastoral position. The game of baseball that somehow kept them together. And the two children in the forest who became his friends--and enlisted him in a dark and dangerous undertaking. As the lines blur between what was real and what was imaginary, Cohen is faced with the question he's been avoiding: Did he kill his father? In Light from Distant Stars, master story weaver Shawn Smucker relays a tale both eerie and enchanting, one that will have you questioning reality and reaching out for what is true, good, and genuine.
