Light of Day is a powerful and illuminating novel about love, loss, and the unforeseeable darkness that lurks around the corners of everyday life.

Jack Owens is a university professor whose wife decided to leave him and their very young son to pursue her artistic career. This is a devastating blow to both Jack and their son, Danny. Jack and Danny eventually build a life for themselves in a quiet community with friends and trusted colleagues. Their bond with each other is unbreakable until Danny is found dead of an alleged suicide, Jack's world spins out of control, and he is left with many questions. This is a very well written book about the effects of grief and the guilt surrounding a suicide. One haunting question remains the premise of this book for both Danny and Jack: which is more important- truth or loyalty? This is a book that will remain with me for a long time as I ponder the truths and loyalties of both of their lives. ( )

Overall it was a satisfactory book, it was a little slow moving at first.. it seemed like it would never get to a plot but a comment at the beginning of the book had me hooked to continue reading on. The first part of the book of the book was very emotional as it gave a very accurate picture of the nature of grief. I am glad I continued reading as it turned out to be a book I was glad I had read.

About a gy whose son kills himself, and the father's search to find out why. Pretty good, but the writing deteriorated in parts. ( )
