East of Midnight

After losing his grandfather to cancer, Cameron must reconcile with a forgotten faith, a broken life, and a love that won't let him go.
Cameron, who is nearly fourteen years old, learns from his grandfather the meaning of God's love. Stopping one day at a shade-covered waterfall not far from the Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandpa reads aloud from his Bible while Cameron listens on.
Suddenly, a ray of sunlight breaks through the branches of the towering trees. Cameron's grandfather calls this a "sparkling enigma," a picture of light breaking through darkness. Two months later, Grandpa dies of pancreatic cancer, and Cameron is left only with riddles and the echoes of a faith that, for him, is beginning to fade.
Now, years later, Cameron reflects on his relationship with his grandfather, his love interest Lydia, and the family that he has since been estranged from. East of Midnight delves into the mysteries of 1st Corinthians 13 as told through a true-to-life journey of a young man wandering from the faith he knew.
