aLight From Afara leads a collection of ten thought-provoking short stories. The author, Boyd Wright, has won awards for his fiction, which has been published in national magazines and included in anthologies. All the tales in this collection are new and are presented here for the first time. The stories run the gamut from serious science fiction to stories of the moral dilemmas faced by people in the hurly-burly of everyday living. Characters as diverse as priests, children, and housewives seek meaning in their lives. Some quest further, searching for answers that transcend the human condition. A common thread that runs through most of the stories is spirituality, and much of Wrightas work has appeared in religious books and periodicals.
