Rising Light

A tender, uplifting novel of healing, hope, and the quiet power of belief—perfect for fans of Nicholas Sparks, Karen Kingsbury, and readers of Neville Goddard's teachings. When Margaret Mary Sullivan loses her husband without warning, the small North Carolina farmhouse they built together becomes an echoing reminder of everything she has lost. Bills pile up, her children need her strength, and grief threatens to swallow what little hope she has left. Until one night, a Neville Goddard lecture appears on her television as if it had been waiting for her. Drawn to its quiet wisdom, Margaret Mary begins to rebuild her life one breath at a time through gratitude, imagination, and the courage to believe in a future she cannot yet see. As she opens her heart, unexpected blessings unfold—a financial miracle that saves her home, small moments of peace returning to her days, and a new connection with Evan Parker, a kind carpenter who brings gentleness back into her world. With each step forward, Margaret Mary learns that healing does not erase the past—it honors it. And love, when invited softly, can arrive like a blessing. Rising Light is a heartfelt story of second chances, family, and the transformative power of living in the end. A clean, emotional slow-burn romance grounded in the warmth of rural Carolina life, this novel reminds us that even in the darkest seasons, light waits patiently to rise.
