Publisher's Summary

The kids call her Lighthouse: no lights on up there. In a small town, everyone knows when you can’t read. But Cathy is just distracted by the light and lines and artistry of everyday life. She is a talented artist growing up in tiny Mariners Cove and yearns for acceptance. She dreams of enrolling in art school, but getting there will be a struggle.

Hutch Parsons is everything Cathy is not: charismatic, popular, smart. Overflowing with energy, he is confident in his plans for the future. But one icy evening his world is upended and those plans are swept away. Now he must face a different life and his own struggle.

Dancing between points of view, Catching the Light explores the ordinary lives of two extraordinary people. With gorgeously lyrical language and a strong sense of place, this tender novel announces a bright new voice in Atlantic fiction.

Winner of the 2014 Percy Janes First Novel Award for an unpublished manuscript.

Beautiful story and wonderful setting in Newfoundland

This book was a nice surprise. The narrator did a good job of the accents and the language is beautiful, flowing. It’s a book about teenagers mostly but really is a book for adults too. I really loved the descriptions of Newfoundland scenery and coastline through the eyes of the young artist. There is a peacefulness to this story. Glad I listened.
