Leave the Little Light On, Book Two: London
by Sonia Palleck


Athena Brkovich believes in true love. Athena approaches adulthood like a paint-by-number - following the directions - but will her future become the masterpiece she dreams of? After high school, Athena quickly learns that nothing in life comes for free. The hurdles Athena jumps to escape her father’s shadow and her family’s impoverished past land her in London, Ontario. Athena has to face her insecurities about not fitting in at the Ivory tower of Western. Enter Mason Armada. Charismatic, handsome and athletic, it is love at first sight. Four years of dental school culminates in an education that covers more than how to fix teeth. Athena is becoming someone she has always imagined, the princess in her own fairy tale. Still, she isn’t sure she can pin her hopes on the irresistible playboy that has stolen her heart. But when Mason’s promises feel as false as her self-belief, Athena must choose between the man she wants to marry and the man she is with. Book two delves into the themes of romantic love, social status and the struggle for independence. Immersing herself in a misguided society, Athena wades into the darkness, trusting that her prince will come and save her.


“I always think the mark of a good book is if you think about the characters when you’re away from it — that is definitely the case here. Its gripping narrative kept me glued to the pages.” — Laura Pratt, Journalist and Editor, Author of “Heartbroken: Field Notes of a Constant Condition”
