ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: Light from Distant Stars
Author: Shawn Smucker
Publisher: Revell
Release Date:
July 16, 2019
Genre: Literary Fiction / Contemporary Magical Realism

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.

    This book goes outside of my normal genre “comfort zone” when it comes to reading. I can’t wait for a chance to read it!

    This book sounds fascinating. And cheers to you raising 6 children and having time to write. I raised 4 and could only fit it in now and then
