Sinopse

The cabbie only remembers taking a break, pulling over in an alley to catch both his breath and the sunrise. His windshield shatters, and two people dash away. He tries to scream, to move, but his neck won’t turn. He can only stare at the cab's dirty ceiling. Finally, a deliveryman calls the cops. Surely, they’ll arrive soon, but we’re pinned in place right along with him as he tries to puzzle it all out.  In this second installment of the CSAP novella series, award-winning author L. Marie Wood uses her descriptive powers to bring us fully into one incident in a person's life, and hold us there, transfixed, until we see it all, crystal clear.

The Man Who fell in the Dark -...

Bruce Kaler MD

Dylan Marchenko knows how routine can anchor a life—or unravel it. He’s a twenty-something Seattle produce driver haunted by a shadowed past: an age gap romance fraying at the edges, memories from Vietnam he keeps at bay, and a drifting sense that change is just another kind of trouble. 
Then, on a nightbound run to Montana, a tragic accident in a dark parking garage leaves Dylan broken and forgotten—unrecognizable, nearly lost for good. Days pass in mechanical darkness before he’s found, alive but forever changed. 
As Dylan fights back from injury and amnesia, watched over by a mother from the East Coast and a girlfriend ready to let go, his recovery becomes a journey of unexpected transformation. What emerges is a man rebuilt—affable, goofy, fiercely kind—learning to walk, speak, and love with brand new eyes. 
Set against the luminous grit of Seattle’s neighborhoods and the raw beauty of the Pacific Northwest, The Man Who Became Light is a story of hard-won redemption, the capacity for change, and the families we find or make anew. For anyone who’s wondered whether grace can arrive through tragedy, Dylan’s journey offers an unforgettable answer.
