He's haunted by a secret he thinks he can erase with a bold and risky plan to fix his disfigurement for good-a plan that may cost him far more than he ever imagined.
Filled with twists, heart, and humor, The Escape of Light is a bold and unexpected story of resilience, love, and basketball from the acclaimed author of The Heart Does Not Grow Back.
