An Accidental Light by Elizabeth Diamond
I've seen her a thousand times. Running through the blue shadows in the rain. Stopped by a screech of brakes and my voice shouting. Stopped by the sudden boom of my heart. On a quiet road just outside London, in the blue half-light of dusk, a car accident will change the lives of two families forever. Jack Philips is a happily married policeman with two small daughters, but the consequences of the accident will force him to reassess everything he loves - and to confront long-buried secrets in his past. For Lisa Jenkins, the devastation caused by the accident seems almost unbearable. Until she discovers an inner strength she never knew she had - and the courage to change her life completely. In this heartbreaking but ultimately uplifting debut novel, Elizabeth Diamond explores the ripple effects of a single moment of tragedy - the journey from guilt to peace, from vengeance to forgiveness, from grief to hope - and even, ultimately, to joy.
Elizabeth Diamond spent many years writing poetry and working, amongst other things, as a home help, a shop assistant, a typist, and a special needs teacher, and dreaming of being a published author, until a chance place on a writers' development award, followed by an arts council grant, gave her the time to write her first novel – just to see ‘if she could’. The result was her debut novel, An Accidental Light. She lives in Devon, has two grown sons and three granddaughters.
