On a late July evening, a man parks near a deserted expressway, his cancer report fresh in his mind and his children's future pressing against every breath. The railing waits ahead, red lights flash below, and one phone call pulls him back toward a life he had almost surrendered.
The Turn of Light brings together seven stories linked by the colours of the rainbow and by the private force of cancer in ordinary lives. A marriage is tested by absence and fear, a family gathers around a child whose illness changes every room in the house, and a working man must face the world with a body altered by treatment. Elsewhere, age, discipline, loyalty and care take unexpected forms, revealing how an illness finds a way into homes, jobs, friendships, routines and faith.
Written with warmth and restraint, The Turn of Light is a moving collection of stories changed by fear, love, grief, duty and hope. It follows people in moments when life demands more than what they feel ready to give.
