When the Light Comes In

In the small mountain town of Pinecrest, Colorado, two broken people are about to discover that healing sometimes comes from the most unexpected places.

Daniel Reyes hasn't touched his guitar or spoken much to anyone since his wife's tragic death three years ago. Organizing hardware supplies and avoiding human connection has become his carefully structured existence—until a single mother and her two sons move in next door, upending his isolation with their persistent warmth.

Grace Holloway fled Denver with her children in the middle of the night, escaping years of emotional abuse from her controlling husband. In Pinecrest, she hopes to find anonymity and safety, not a community that would embrace them or a guarded neighbor whose quiet strength might be exactly what her family needs.

When a storm damages Grace's rental house, Daniel reluctantly helps with repairs, setting in motion a chain of connections neither was seeking. As Daniel is gradually drawn into the Holloways' lives—fixing a fence, answering a child's questions about faith, reluctantly stepping in when the struggling local church needs a musician—he begins to rediscover parts of himself he thought were lost forever.

But Grace's ex-husband is determined to regain control of his family, threatening their newfound safety. And the church building that has become their unexpected sanctuary faces demolition by town developers, including the mayor who seems strangely determined to oppose Daniel at every turn.

"When the Light Comes In" is an uplifting story of redemption, community, and finding courage to open the shutters again after profound loss. Because sometimes light enters through the most unexpected cracks, transforming broken places into something beautiful.
