What is In the Shadow of Light about?

"By the time Ramona Newton is fifteen, her mother has walked out, her father soon to follow, and she ends up at a place called the Far East, tending bar for Charlie Big and hustling pool in order to survive... At the Far East, Ramona is supported by a cast of colorful characters who care about her even as she is tested by others from the darker side of life. Ramona struggles to keep her dreams of college and a better life alive while longing for her family and the home they once had. She is haunted by not knowing why her mother left, and begins to see herself as someone of little value and not worthy of being loved. When the secrets of her mother's past are revealed, Ramona bears witness to a searing tragedy of evil and innocence. The story captures the turbulence of the 1960s on the gritty, working-class waterfront of Gloucester, Massachusetts, revealing the clash of generations and class divides, and the turmoil created by the Vietnam War and racial injustice."-- book jacket
