A LIGHT FROM THE ASHES


A LIGHT FROM THE ASHES 
by Rachel Anne Cox


To read the novel of Rachel Anne Cox felt like being home, surrounded by friends and beautiful, familiar places.  Not every book has the power to be so welcoming, especially when within its covers there is a world of chaos and limitations. The author skilfully created veridical characters that you may expect to see on the street someday, but she embellished them with comprehensive hearts that are able too carry all the love that people have lost in empty words these days.
Living, fearing, loving and suffering together with the protagonists, the reader is given the chance to extend the dypstopian view upon a possible future life due to the ideological mechanism that constitutes the base of A LIGHT FROM THE ASHES. Even if it is hard to accept that such a picture may be real one day, the author offers a possible solution through the belief that Heaven can survive in the middle of the Hell. It is a hellish world, where Bridget has been conceived and born, but Sophie’s love assimilates her to a little angel. However, when one soul is not enough, there is the family and true friends who maintain the light and love of Heaven in a Hell full of ashes.
Once again, we are remembered that beauty and good reside within ourselves, as well as ugliness and evil. We have the power to decide whether the world reflects the light or the ashes hidden in our hearts.
