The Language of Light

Nelly Grace, a young mother, moves her two children to a privileged, insular, horse-breeding world in the Baltimore countryside, after the unexpected death of her husband. Her struggle to rebuild her life is intertwined with her friendship with Emma, the matriarch of the fox-hunting community, her involvement with Emma's son, Dac, and her desire to become a photojournalist like her father. She soon learns that she will never be able to move on until she re-establishes a relationship with her father, a man who has allowed fame and ambition to come before his family. A brilliant old-fashioned read, filled with secrets and surprises, The Language of Light is a beautifully told story of a woman moving into the future by uncovering the past.
