‘Radiant…What begins as a teenage romance in 1950s Florida becomes an intimate, deeply moving story of separation, sacrifice, and self-determination – and of how early love shapes the lives we carry forward.’ * Christina Baker Kline * ‘A cancel-your-plans, hold-your-breath, call-your-best-friend kind of book.’ * Amy Jo Burns * ‘Illuminates the beguiling power of first love through characters whose teenage choices precipitate lifelong consequences.’ * Sarah McCoy * ‘Sunlight Finds You is a riveting story of young love and battered hope. It’s the kind of book that makes you lean closer, then hold your breath as the beauty and betrayal unfold. I couldn’t stop reading. I couldn’t stop hoping. What an extraordinary novel!’ * Ariel Lawhon, New York Times bestselling author of The Frozen River * 'Laura Moriarty writes with a voice that grabs you from the first page and delights you to the last. Sunlight Finds You is at once captivating, tender, and remarkably attuned to the emotional weather of our time. I love it.’ * Tracey Lien, author of All That’s Left Unsaid *
