Raymond is a loner and a drifter, moving through the wide expanse of the Midwest in search of something that he does not fully understand...until he meets Jenny. Together, they move into the complicated territory of love - a love that is marked by disappointment and betrayal - and when Jenny becomes pregnant and bears Raymond's child, the bonds of their love are put further to the test. The Burden of Light shines into the dark recesses of what it means to be alive and to live with the choices we make. Deeply human, it begs us to experience and bear witness to the hope and power of redemption. It is as much about what we gain, as it is what we lose, and how the shape of these experiences, form us. A haunting story of love and forgiveness, The Burden of Light stays with the reader long after the last page comes to close.
