Overview

Against the backdrop of complicated, beautiful South Africa in the 1960s, an epic family saga unfolds. Eve Hunter has grown up on her family's dairy farm in the Lowveld, but she's inherited more than just a love of the land-she's inherited their sorrow. When her father is electrocuted while building a barn, the tragedy exposes the dark secret that has run beneath her family's sadness for years. Eve turns to Jack, her closest friend and neighbor, for comfort. But Jack belongs to Kate, her older sister, at least that's what their families have always assumed. As Eve and Jack's bond deepens into something more charged, Eve faces an impossible choice to either honor her family's expectations or to follow her heart and risk everything. Then Kate comes to her with a devastating request that could change everything between them. The Light Remains is a story about the weight of family loyalty, the price of independence, and the choices that define us when duty and desire collide.
