WHEN WRITER LESLIE J. THOMPSON LOST HER HUSBAND in an unforeseen tragedy, she processed her grief in prose. In private journal entries, blog essays, and social media posts, her paralyzing feelings of anguish and despair were matched only by her unwavering faith in God. Writing gave Leslie an outlet for the chaotic emotions triggered by loss, and her posts inspired others with her raw authenticity and resilience.

Light on the Horizon is a collection of essays written over four years as Leslie's heart slowly healed. Beginning with the eulogy she read at her husband's funeral, she documents the journey from devastation to restoration in the wake of losing a spouse. Although deeply personal in nature, the essays offer timeless wisdom and incorporate universal themes of connection, courage, gratitude, and love. Collectively, they testify to the goodness of God, who gives beauty for ashes, and ignite renewed hope for those crushed in spirit.
