Deirdre and Sam, mother and daughter, have been stuck in individual grief cycles since husband and father Niall died less than a year earlier. Now it is time for a change. For Deirdre, this means hiring a life coach, rediscovering long-dormant parts of herself, and putting the family home on the market. For Sam, it's jettisoning an abusive employer, re-evaluating her strengths, allowing for the possibility of love, and maybe even moving home for a while. They come to their decisions an ocean apart, but when they find themselves under the same roof, their lives begin moving in unexpected directions. But progress through grief is never linear…and heartache isn't entirely done with them yet.

At once a deeply felt story of two people not just ready to move on and an inspirational call for finding oneself, Let it Shine is a profound, touching, and ultimately stirring work of fiction.
