Late in her twentieth year, Beatrice mails a letter on the sly, sparking events that will change her life forever. Just as she makes this contact with her grandmother, a legendary actress long estranged from Bea's mother, Bea, who dreams of her own life on the stage, is confronted by a home life torn asunder. "Tantalizing in it's evocation of emotional fragility and piercing in its interpretation of subconscious desires" ( Booklist ), House Lights illuminates the corrosive power of family secrets and the redemptive struggle to find truth, forgiveness, and love.
