Books with title Blue Light

Kamryn Blue is an expert at building walls. Her entire life was composed of lies, and when those lies fell apart, so did she. In attempt to gain control, she surrounded herself with impenetrable walls. She built walls to keep her damaged past hidden from the outside. She built walls to keep control over her emotions following her mother’s death. She built walls to assure she never would show her true feelings about her absent father. And she built walls to guarantee that she would never be hurt again. But naturally, there comes a time where all walls will fall down. Shortly after the death of her mother, Kamryn is forced to leave the comfort of her home in New York City, and move to the minuscule town of Winport, Maine. She adjusts to small town life and to living with her practically-a-stranger aunt. She finds a place on the high school basketball team and friends that she has difficulty keeping her past from. It becomes increasingly challenging to keep her walls intact. As Kamryn’s walls start to fall apart, she begins to find closure, truth and happiness in the last place she ever thought she would: a microscopic port town in Maine.
