The Color of Light

By: Karen White

Narrated by: Brittany Pressley

An emotionally moving novel of a woman in search of a new beginning and a man haunted by the past—from the New York Times bestselling author of the Tradd Street novels.

At thirty-two, Jillian Parrish finally finds the courage to put herself in the driver’s seat of her life. Pregnant and recently divorced, she and her seven-year-old daughter find refuge and solace on Pawleys Island, South Carolina—Jillian’s only source of happy childhood memories. Summers spent at her grandmother’s beach house had been Jillian’s sanctuary from indifferent parents—until her best friend Lauren Mills disappeared, never to be found.

Linc Rising, Lauren’s boyfriend and Jillian’s confidant, had been a suspect in Lauren’s disappearance. Jillian had never doubted his innocence—but because her parents had whisked her back home to Atlanta, she never got a chance to tell him. Now, a resentful Linc is back on Pawleys Island—renovating the old Mills house. And as ghosts of the past are resurrected, and as Jillian’s daughter begins having eerie conversations with an imaginary friend named Lauren, Jillian and Linc will uncover the truth about Lauren’s disappearance and about the feelings they have buried for sixteen years...

Another great Karen White

Love this author and narrator. Great story. Just what I needed. If you haven't listened to the Sound of Glass, it's a must!

It was cheesy but spots of beautiful writing

Predictable but still enjoyed overall. Some parts of the book were super cheesy, mostly parts involving Grace.

Wow, what a touching story!

Defiantly full of colorful moments. Felt like I was relight there in Pawleys Island living in their world.

In the dunes

Well written and narrated. This kept my interest with plenty of twist and turns. Delightful

Always a good listen!

Karen white never disappoints. I needed a sweet listen with easy, minimal drama and she delivered!
