Beneath the Northern Lights: Stories by Jonathan P. Davis

A ritualistic old man haunted by lost love and years-ago tragedy. A young soldier forbidden by religion and dictatorship to think and feel for himself. A despondent woman threatened by jealous rage at her musical passion. A gifted artist the world tormented and conspired to conceal. All people pass through personal shadows. Yet even within the thickest of them, they can find light where it's not supposed to shine. Explore six compelling stories different in subject yet common in theme about the battles that wage deep within. Eloquent, stirring, and rich in vision and subtext, each offers an incisive look into complex characters fighting their ways through the human condition. In the end, they-as we-all stand beneath the Northern Lights that cut through the night with beauty in the darkness.
