Cassidy Smith has spent the last year learning how to live again after escaping the suffocating grip of her abusive ex-boyfriend, Justin. She's moved to New York City, hoping the fresh start will help her heal. But even surrounded by the beauty of her new home, Cassidy struggles to trust herself, let alone anyone else.
Enter Dave Walker, a kindhearted art teacher with a quiet strength and a past of his own. Their paths cross when she takes an art class in hopes of starting a new hobby. An unlikely friendship begins to bloom, and while Cassidy admires Dave's patience and gentle humor, she's terrified of letting him-or anyone-get too close.
As the weeks pass, Cassidy finds herself drawn to Dave's steady presence and the way he sees her not as someone broken, but as someone capable of standing tall. But just as she begins to open her heart, remnants of her past resurface when Justin reappears, determined damage what he lost.
Finding the Light is a heartfelt story of resilience, love, and rediscovering the strength to trust again.
