From award-winning poet Benjamin Alire Sá enz comes In Perfect Light, a haunting novel depicting the cruelties of cultural displacement and the resilience of those who are left in its aftermath. In Perfect Light is the story of two strong-willed people who are forever altered by a single tragedy.

Recently confronted with her own sense of isolation and mortality, Grace is an unlikely angel, a therapist who agrees to treat André s after he is arrested in the United States. The two are suspicious of each other, yet they slowly arrive at a tentative working relationship that allows each of them to examine his and her own fragile and damaged past. André s begins to confront what lies behind his own violence, and Grace begins to understand how she has contributed to her own self-exile and isolation. What begins as an intriguing favor to a friend becomes Grace's lifeline -- even as secrets surrounding the death of André s' parents threaten to strain theconnection irreparably. With the urgent, unflinching vision of a true storyteller and the precise, arresting language of a poet, Sá enz's In Perfect Light bears witness to the cruelty of circumstance and, more than offering escape, the novel offers the possibility of
