Light From Distant Stars By Shawn Smucker

When Cohen Marah steps over his father's body in the basement embalming room of the family's funeral home, he has no idea that he is stepping into a labyrinth of memory. As the last one to see his father, Cohen is the primary suspect.

Over the next week, Cohen's childhood memories come back in living color. The dramatic events that led to his father being asked to leave his pastoral position. The game of baseball that somehow kept them together. And the two children in the forest who became his friends--and enlisted him in a dark and dangerous undertaking. As the lines blur between what was real and what was imaginary, Cohen is faced with the question he's been avoiding: Did he kill his father?

In Light from Distant Stars, master story weaver Shawn Smucker relays a tale both eerie and enchanting, one that will have you questioning reality and reaching out for what is true, good, and genuine.

My Thoughts...

Oh the emotions that I am feeling. All I can say is this book has it all. This book was very well written and I am so glad that the publisher shared it with me.
This being my first book by Smucker I will be looking for some more.
You have to be a great writer to write time slip books and this one is pretty good in my eyes. I only know of two other writers that can write time slip books. So this is a great accolade.
4 stars and I recommend it.
