Publisher's Synopsis
Aiden LeDoux is a typical sixteen-year-old boy when the O'Connell brothers nail his father to a tree. He doesn't believe things can get any worse...until three months later, when a mysterious light bursts forth from his face and heals everyone in his father's bar, from a minor scrape to terminal illness.
Once word of this miracle event spreads, crazed townspeople attempt to force Aiden to use his newfound gift to heal those they love. But Aiden doesn't know how he did it. Or why. Or if he can ever make it happen again. In the heart of a blizzard, in the throes of fanatical entitlement, the townspeople begin to tear the town-and each other-apart, with Aiden and his family trapped in the middle... Shine Your Light on Me is a gripping tale that illuminates the ugly underbelly of humanity. From its tense opening to its explosive finale, the monsters herein are all too real, too familiar, and Lee Thompson's relentless prose will leave you breathless.
