In the Light of Day
A Father's Poetry Reflecting Life Lessons for His Children

Author: Michael Williams
Publisher:
ISBN 1-4257-3326-3; 978-1-4257-3326-1
Cloth Hardback, $20.00, 49 pages

"Truth is clear
Yet hard to see


Know that some will
Pick
At your truth
Like birds of
Prey
But live your truth anyway
Breathe it
Believe it
For it is the only clear
Path
To all that matters
"

Delight in each passing moment with author Michael Williams, as he celebrates the trials, triumphs and discoveries of living through his poetry. In the Light of Day is a remarkable collection of memories, messages, conversations and experiences that chronicle life lessons from childhood to adulthood from a father to his children.

The verses of In the Light of Day are more than a father's advice to his sons; they are a man's hopeful glimpse into a future of promise for all children. It is truly a tribute to the strength of the human spirit, and a reminder to every reader that dreams are meant to be realized, futures are meant to be built and that anything can be accomplished if you believe.

In the Light of Day is one of the few books written from a father's perspective to his children, providing a unique view that has yet to be thoroughly explored in the genre of poetry. The universality of this wonderful collection of poems lends itself to readers young and old, at any stage in their life, and most importantly, reminds us all that "It is a miracle that love only remembers what remains in the light of day".

The ABCs have never been so twisted!

A high school custodian is found suffocated in plastic. Music teacher, Becky Paul, is beaten to death a few weeks later. Agent Logan Hunter joins Moss County detective Chase Railey on the cases, renting a room from Taryn Kosterman who lives in Trust, North Carolina, just north of Luck.

Evidence is hard to come by as the murders of school system personnel continue and get increasingly gruesome. One name keeps coming up in connection with the deaths, and eventually Logan collects enough damning information to search the suspect's home. The killer is apprehended but quickly escapes to his truck. Logan dives into the truck bed as it takes off, wrecking, and throwing Logan and himself into a flooded river. They both go over the mountain in a sea of mud. Only one walks away.

As final reports are completed, Logan realizes there is another killer and pursues him through treacherous switchbacks, ending at an abandoned gem mine. Logan mortally wounds the deranged man, ending the gory killing spree and bringing peace back to Trust. www.swhitfield.com Susan Whitfield lives in Dudley, NC with her husband, Doyle and near her two sons,
