Let the Light In

By: Jenny Downham, Louis Hill

Narrated by: Jenny Downham, Louis Hill

Leah and Charlie’s world shattered when their dad died – and they’re handling their grief in very different ways. Leah’s found someone who makes her feel like a goddess. The downside is their relationship has to stay secret – but love is worth a few sacrifices, right? For Charlie, security seems in his grasp when he gets an offer he can’t resist. Just a bit of extra money can surely solve so many of his problems ...

When these seemingly unconnected paths collide, the shockwaves have a vaster impact than Leah or Charlie could’ve ever imagined.

This astounding, compulsive story explores love, power, money, art, and asks: what really matters in the end?
