The year Danny kills himself, his father, Dr. Jack Owens, spends the entire summer watching mental reruns of his life, castigating himself for his failures as a parent and grieving for the 15-year-old son who couldn't resolve a moral dilemma: Which is more important, honesty or loyalty? Woven into achingly lovely images of Danny as a small, bewildered, and sensitive child who missed his mother and the story of her betrayal, which cuts Jack's emotional ties to everyone but his son, are omens of even darker truths about Danny's death.

Work Description
Light of Day is a powerful and illuminating novel about love, loss, and the unforeseeable darkness that lurks around the corners of everyday life.Respected professor Jack Owens brought his son, Danny, to Gilbert, Indiana, to escape a betrayal too painful to endure anywhere but in this quiet Midwestern college town. After ten years, Jack believed they were safe. But on a seemingly ordinary day, the world Jack thought he knew and the future he anticipated abruptly comes apart at the seams, leaving him haunted by the questions why and what next. Redemption, however, could come with the arrival of an unexpected friend whose prescient understanding slowly helps Jack cope with the unacceptable. But with healing comes clarity -- and secrets best left unrevealed by the stark, glaring light of day.
