Publisher's Synopsis
In an age when religion and spirituality have moved to the periphery of Western culture, The Burden of Light reveals characters who find themselves confronted by grace and a transcendent, eternal presence that is the backdrop to their lives.
Characters in this collection of eight short stories include a young man who spends three years alone in the wilds of Northern Ontario, wrestling with divine presence; a homeless teenager whose soul is drawn to divine beauty despite her drug addiction; a wealthy woman who feels the presence of grace stirring her soul, but turns back to a confined existence she trusts; and two children who encounter the mystery of evil.
