The Glow - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

"Mommy, she shines like an angel," said little Jessica to her mother as she began to fall asleep.

To Joe Berquist, a discouraged law school student, the little girl's words about Lauren, the newly-arrived bookseller, were just an adoring expression of love for her new friend. But what was that unusual look Joe had seen in the little girl's face when Lauren had talked to her alone? And why did the bedtime story that Lauren had read to her feel like it was meant for him?

In the autumn of 1997, Joe was like a boat drifting aimlessly. School was awful, his social life was almost non-existent, and worst of all, Joe didn't know what he wanted to do with his life. Then Lauren and her colleague knock on his door, leading to another chance encounter that would blossom into an enduring friendship.

In the weeks that follow, Joe's attraction to Lauren intensifies but so does his confusion as several small, but mysterious events occur to the people around him that all point to this special young woman. Who is she? What special ability is she hiding? Is she really an angel?

Struggling to balance these questions with the increasing demands from school, friends in need and the holiday season, Joe embarks on a journey of laughter, pain, and redemption until at last he learns the secret of the Glow.
