Away from the roads and city lights, the glow of lanterns shines bright, but the glimmer of desire burns brighter. A fun holiday getaway becomes less relaxing when an overworked young woman is forced to share a cabin with her ex-husband. The messy situation gets complicated as feelings heat up around the bonfire. An estranged group of friends come together for the tenth anniversary of their friend’s death, only to find out what they thought was an accident, may have been something far more sinister. A young dryad goes to a magical summer camp, where she must team up with the social outcast, best her former bestie, and win the coveted prize at the heart of the labyrinth. When a mysterious bundle of letters bridges the past and present, the secrets surrounding two summer romances, decades apart, unravel. Light and Longing weaves together four stories that explore the deepest forms of desire: for the things we shouldn’t want but do, the things that should be left in the past, and the need to be more than what we are.
