Bright Light Shines Through The Blind

by Sam N. Smoker

Overview

This is a story of triumph over adversity. Of the impact of youthful vision and leadership. A young girl musters up the courage to launch a movement of real consequence. A movement that wages war on behalf of undernourished poor kids all across America. The success of the movement requires overcoming severe limitations, and recognizing the national child hunger crisis for what it is: an intolerable blight on our society.
Even though the bright, vivacious 11-year-old survives a horrific accident, she suffers a major loss. During her recovery from surgery, she develops amazing abilities that defy analysis, but benefit her in various ways. Using a combination of prescience and inner fortitude, she compels classmates and adults to get off the sidelines and join the fight against malnutrition in children. She and her grandad, a well-known local restaurateur, show how food donors, restaurants, churches, and charitable organizations of all stripes can collaborate successfully to achieve objectives. Their well-coordinated efforts are effective in helping to provide nourishment to the 13,000,000 kids in America who too frequently go to bed hungry.

About the Author

Having written technical documents for many years, the author tries his hand at fiction in Bright Light Shines Through The Blind. In this novella, Smoker's interest in children's causes, food, and unconventional thinking is on full display. As is his compulsion to explore the outer limits of the human experience.

Smoker presupposes we've all heard of, or known, someone who is succeeding despite the impact of a horrific accident. Or is capable of performing amazing mathematical calculations. Or can instantly recall reams of complex information. Or even, on occasion, exhibit preternatural abilities to glimpse the future.

In developing characters that check all of the above boxes, the author presents the reader with his version of a true supergirl. No flying through the air. No stopping bullets or speeding trains. Just extraordinary mental capabilities, a fierce determination to attack the problem of malnutrition, and the ability to convince others to join her in the battle. She wears an apron, not a cape.

While Smoker weaves a fictitious story, he presents ample evidence that the very real dilemma of child hunger in America has real solutions. And he shows the reader that those solutions, or similar ones, could be successfully implemented, if only the American middle class would shed their complacency, and let their conscience be their guide.
