A Light Last Seen is a coming of age story, a story of second chances. Jaynie Highsmith had a difficult childhood. Her father died in a drowning accident before she came into this world, and her mother drowned her sorrows in booze and men. Jaynie's brother, Mitch, looked after her the best he could, but it was her relationship with their neighbor, Ruth Berry that fed her spirit. While Jaynie had things in common with her mother, such as their tempers, she tried to be forward looking rather than living in the resentment of the past as her mother did. Was it possible that while working toward a better future she had missed the good things in the present? There are life lessons to be learned in A Light Last Seen. Grace Greene reveals these through her well-developed, sometimes quirky characters and her genuine dialogue ripe with emotion. She is a gifted author, one that I am glad to have discovered through her Wildflower series and one I highly recommend.
