What if that wife and mother is terminally ill? And what if that someone else is another woman? For Alex Fournier, it is the pull of obligation and duty to her husband and children. For Lily Peterson, it is the challenge of loving a woman who belongs somewhere else. They are apart for seven years, until a terminal illness strikes. When they finally meet again, they begin an unforseen and unimaginable journey through a maze of confusing and tender connections with each other and the innocent people who love them.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>I was engaged in this story right from the first page. The author created such likable and believable characters. I feel they would have all become friends of mine if I had met them in real life.The bittersweet ending has a twist that I didn't see coming, and all of the characters remained with me long after the story was over. I'm looking forward to more fine reading from this author. Laurel</p><p><br></p><p>The Light Stays on (subtitle: A Love Story) by Karen Jasper: an awesome book ... and no, not a traditional romance, not by a long shot, rather a love story as in THE "Love Story" ... where terminal illness plays a pivotal role. Made me cry on the train ... so realistic. Great story telling skills - masterful handling of time, timeline, past and present time. Thanks to those who recommended the book. Look forward to any new book by this author. Philologus</p><p><br></p><p>This is not your run-of-mill love story. It is a love story that is different from any other that I have read. Truly original.Alex and Lily's story is told with class and charm. I won't spoil the story for you by revealing too much plot. I will tell you that I reread the last 20 pages four or five times and that tears were shed each time.I picked up the book and couldn't put it down until it was finished. It only took a few hours to read but I'm sure the story will stay with me for a good, long time.Do yourself a favor and read "The Light Stays On". It is a rare gem. Bailey</p><br>
