Chasing happiness and finding joy are two very different things—as Jaynie Highsmith has discovered. Can she give up searching for the one and reclaim the other? Or is she fated to repeat the mistakes her mother made? Jaynie Highsmith grows up in Cub Creek wanting only to escape from her small town and the chaos of her childhood. Desperate to leave her past behind and make a new life, she vows to become the best version of herself she can create. But when she does take off, she also leaves ~ and forgets ~ important parts of her past and herself. The new life is everything she wants, or so she thinks until it falls apart. Seventeen years after leaving home, Jaynie desperately needs a new fresh start and returning to Cub Creek is critical, but she promises herself that the visit will be as short as possible and then she'll be out and free again. However, Jaynie must reconcile the past she turned her back on with her present, and a longer stay may be vital to her future if she has any hope of changing her destiny.

As one reader wrote about A Light Last Seen : " 'In the heart of Virginia, where the forests hide secrets and the creeks run strong and deep' is a place called Cub Creek. A place that has meadows filled with colorful flowers and butterflies to chase, and dirt roads and Cub Creek to jump over and disappear into the woods.
