    About this ebook

    It was too late.

    The whole world knew it, the nations shaking their heads at the fallen United States, our beautiful country of hope and freedom covered in blood and ashes.

    Only the devil could've planned something so disastrous.

    Only God could save us now.

    Only God could save August.

    It was all my fault that he nearly lost his life, dashing back into the hailstorm of debris to save a man who was already dead. I can only hope that he'll recover—that we will recover.

    Because some things will never be forgotten.

    Told from the point-of-view of a fictional 9/11 eyewitness, Daylight is a heart-rending short story of grief and rejoicing in the aftermath of 9/11 by bestselling author, Grace A. Johnson.

      I absolutely loved this book! It had such vivid description and was filled with hope! 9/11 was such a hard time for America, but this outlook this short story paints is absolutely beautiful.

    Daylight - Grace A. Johnson

    Praise for Daylight

    "Out of the ashes of 911 comes Daylight, a poignant short story about a tragic moment in American history, where glimmers of hope emerge from glimmers of pain when a quiet love rises from the ashes of friendship nearly lost." – Julie Lessman, award-winning author of The Daughters of Boston and Isle of Hope series.

    ––––––––

    Rich with emotion, this 9/11 story will pull you into the aftermath of one of America’s greatest tragedies. The author has skillfully interwoven the pain with hope, the loss with new beginning, and the fear with a tender touch of romance. Definitely a read you won’t want to put down! — Willowy Whisper, Selah award-winning author

    ––––––––

    It takes talent to make me care about characters in a novel, much less in a short story. Grace Johnson has that talent in abundance. I need more of August and Sylvie! – Kristina Hall, author of the Moretti trilogy

    ––––––––

    A beautiful short story of daylight, hope, and rising from the ashes. With a poetic writing style and a lifelike cast of characters, Johnson paints a gentle reminder of hope in every sunrise. – E. C. Colton, author of Shards of Sky
