ALL POINTS OF LIGHT CONVERGE
Thirty-six-year-old Kita Fletcher is fleeing a dead marriage riddled with affairs. After a chance meeting with a small group of people headed to the Rainbow Gathering, she can go her own way or choose to embrace her adventurous spirit that was snuffed out years ago.
After receiving a devastating diagnosis, Maddy Alexander leaves her medical residency and her fiancé behind. Taking only a few belongings—including her beloved guitar—Maddy travels the US trying to live as fully as she can before it’s too late. When she hears about the Rainbow Gathering, she’s intrigued and wants to go, but that dream is crushed when her car breaks down just outside Boulder, Colorado.
Twenty-eight-year-old Elaine Kennedy is living her dream life in New York City, far away from her childhood home where she and her mother lived off the grid. When Elaine’s mother dies, those worlds collide when she’s forced to go back home to settle her mom’s affairs. Once there, she’s caught in a battle between everything she loved about her childhood and all the reasons she escaped it.
Just shy of his eighteenth birthday, Talon Callahan’s conservative, religious parents are sending him to a conversion program after finding out he’s gay. Tempted to end his life, Talon instead runs away to the Rainbow Gathering. But with Talon’s wealthy father sparing no resources to look for him, Talon is in constant danger, even after he meets Kita, Maddy, and Elaine, three people who would do anything to help him.
ALL POINTS OF LIGHT CONVERGE is an interwoven story that explores the internal battles of four strangers drawn to something that may save them from themselves.
