The Valley of Light Audiobook

" Very nice whole hearted book. The book and movie on Lifetime were both good. "

" Noah Locke arrives in a small town in NC. A quiet simple man, war vet (WWII) with a mystical gift for fishing. He is haunted by the war and his only sibling in jail. He wanders doing odd jobs and fishing. He meets a young widow. He is brought into the lives of the people in this "Valley of Light" and learns why he was sent here. "

" What is intriguing about Kay's two books I have read so far is that they involve a bit of the unbelievable but in such a way so as to make them the opposite; plausible in a way. I'll have another helping, thank you very much... "

" Story was fair, not a lot of depth to it, could not get interested enough to care about any of the characters though. "

" A simply beautiful book. Terry Kay has quickly injected himself onto my top 3 contemporary fiction writer list. Wonderful, skilled, smart writing, compelling characters, and a plot so interesting it doesn't require a bunch of murder and dismemberment to be "interesting". "

" This is a good (although not terribly exciting) book. If you like Lifetime/Hallmark Channel movies, you'll like it. "

" very slow beginning but then it kinda picks up-about a roaming fly fisherman who has a special 'knack' for catching fish...and the one that got away "

" Terry Kay is so good. It's a shame more people don't discover him. This is one novel that truly deserves the adjective luminous. "

" Kind of slow, but surprisingly good. "

" First book I've read by this author, and I will definitely read more. Terry Kay has a beautiful way of developing characters in such a short space of time. Beautiful book! "

" This is a quiet book with a different kind of main character. By the same author as "To Dance with a White Dog." I enjoyed it but I don't think I will read everything Terry Kay has written. "

" Wow! Loved it! Not big on fishing, but this was a very enjoyable fish tale. Haha. "

" This was the first book I have read of Terry Kay...it was a good story... "

" "From Terry Kay, one of America's most gifted storytellers, comes a poignant novel of love, acceptance, and the wonders of the world in which we live." "

" Heartwarming story of a young man, who makes his living from fishing and tries to get over the nightmare visions of war events he'd seen, set in late 1940s. "

" Charming story of a young man in 1948 who is a wanderer. He is a remarkable fisherman. Revolves around fishing, life in a small town, helping others, finding himself. "

" I LOVED this regional novel ... it transported me to a hazy hot afternoon shadowing my grandfather and uncles while they were fishing ... "

" Wonderfully told story, simple but heartfelt just like the time and location the story is set in. "

" This was one of my favorite reads and was so well written that Hallmark made it into a movie! Very romantic as well as inspiring in belief! "

" This was a very comfortable and enjoyable novel about a gifted fisherman who touches the lives of several people. "

" I just discovered this author and just love his writing. This story is set in 1948 rural Georgia. A young man recovering from WW2 has gone fishing for a few years, and happens into this valley in search of a legendary fish. Too good! "

" Beautifully written - I still recommend it! "

" so the story isn't all happy happy, but it was heartwarming the setting (late 40's, North Carolina near Georgia) was peaceful - and helped me calm down from the holidays and get ready for "real life" again. "

" Had unique sayings the characters would say,a slow paced read. "
