The Light On Halsey Street

Two girls' lives are irrevocably intertwined the summer of 1985 in the streets of Brooklyn, New York, and neither will ever be the same in this coming-of-age story that spans decades. Lisa Whitaker and Dana Jones live in the same neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY, but their lives couldn't be more different. Lisa's father owns a corner store that's a staple in the community. She comes from a loving but strict family. Meanwhile, Dana is always looking for the next adventure, and since her mother is in and out of rehab, Dana enjoys plenty of independence. The two girls form an unlikely friendship until the summer of 1985 when Dana is gradually sucked into a life of crime that Lisa wants no part of. By the fall, Lisa is starting her freshman year of college and Dana is in prison. But the two girls' lives are forever entangled in decades of lies, fraud and deaths that so profoundly change them; it will take a lifetime to forgive the betrayal and thoughtlessness that youthful summer in Bed-Stuy set in motion. Beloved author Vanessa Miller's latest inspirational novel reminds readers that though everyone's journey is different, God weaves connections in surprising and unforgettable ways. Stand-alone inspirational Christian fiction Perfect for fans of Tara M. Stringfellow, Terry McMillan, and Kimberla Lawson Roby Includes discussion questions for book clubs
