“The goal of this novel is not to imagine answers to the mystery of what took place in Roswell but to explore the response of individuals to inexplicable or unprecedented experiences. But while the events are open to conjecture, their effects are nonetheless real and wide-ranging, shaping relationships and careers, building and shaking faith.” —Historical Novels Review“A compelling and original novel told [in a way] that raises this work of biographical fiction to an impressive level of literary excellence…A welcome and enduringly popular pick.” —Midwest Book Review“For fans of Ray Bradbury, this is a story of strange events, forbidden love, and how far we go to protect the institutions of faith and order. The Stars and Their Light will utterly change you.” —Jillian Forsberg, author of The Rhino Keeper
