More than just a true crime tale, "A Candle for the Dark" tells the story of a young girl, abducted and murdered, in the wider context of the problem of evil, and whether we can believe in a loving God in the face of such suffering. When 11 year old Amy Holman disappeared from her rural Georgia home in 1987, a community was torn apart. This book tells Amy's story and offers the reader hope that her story didn't end with her death. A unique mix of police procedural, court room drama, human stories and spiritual reflection, "A Candle for the Dark" brings the reader into the world of an intense small-town murder investigation and the regular people that were caught up in the story. It challenges the reader to examine their own beliefs about evil, hope, forgiveness, and justice.
