A Trick of the Light by Lois Metzger
Mike Welles had everything under control.
He was a good student, an outfielder on the baseball team, a
good son, a loyal friend. But that was before. Now things are
rough at home, and they're getting confusing at school. He's
losing his sense of direction, and he feels like a mess.
Then there's a voice in his head. A friend, trying to help him
regain control. More than that: The voice can guide him to
become better and stronger than he was before, to rid his life
of everything holding him back. To figure out who he is again.
If only Mike will listen.
Writing with devastating power and precision, acclaimed
author Lois Metzger gives us the story of one young
man's battle with his own shadows – a spare, stark,
and vital tale of the way in which the things we build to
protect ourselves can threaten to destroy us.
