Overview

Prequel to Awakening Series Child of Light is a luminous, genre-blending coming-of-age novel that explores the extraordinary within the ordinary. Jacob Miller is a boy marked by difference-a secret hum in his chest, a power he can't name, and a longing to belong in a world that seems determined to keep him on the margins. In the small town of Millwood, Texas, Jacob's journey unfolds through the rituals of family breakfasts, playground dramas, and the quiet ache of first love. But as strange events ripple through his life-flickering lights, moving objects, and moments of healing-Jacob and those closest to him must navigate the tension between fear and acceptance, secrecy and truth. At its heart, Child of Light is a story of resilience, faith, and the transformative power of love. Jacob's path is shaped by the steadfast support of his mother Evelyn, the quiet strength of his father Monroe, and the deepening bond with his cousin Michael-a relationship that challenges the boundaries of family, identity, and courage. As Jacob learns to embrace his gifts and confront the shadows of trauma, he discovers that brokenness is not the end, but the beginning of becoming whole. Perfect for readers of contemporary literary fiction, LGBTQ+ stories, and magical realism, Child of Light offers a moving meditation on what it means to be different, to heal, and to find light in the darkest places. Beau Wesley Carroll's debut is a celebration of hope, forgiveness, and the promise that restoration is possible-not someday, but now. Discover the origins of Millwood's awakening-and the boy who would become its light. Themes: Family, resilience, LGBTQ+ identity, faith, healing, magical realism, coming-of-age

Author Information

Beau may have the intuition of a dark empath and the insight of someone who's seen a lifetime of family plot twists, but he's not the type to hide the strange or the sensitive. He was raised in the South, where folks don't lock their crazy relatives in a back bedroom - they put them on the front porch with a cocktail and let them hold court. Growing up around that kind of unfiltered humanity taught him to read people fast, love them anyway, and find the truth hiding under all the polite smiles.His work - whether he's writing, speaking, or helping someone untangle their creative chaos - blends emotional intelligence with front-porch honesty. He listens deeply, laughs easily, and has a knack for pointing out the thing you've been avoiding since 1998, but in a way that somehow feels like grace instead of judgment.Beau's stories and guidance invite folks to see themselves with a little more clarity and a lot more compassion. And just like any good Southern gathering, healing tends to show up unannounced, settle in comfortably, and stay for supper.
