5 out of 5 stars

The light at Dawn written by K.L. Montgomery is a very emotional read especially for me right now and this story has helped me process my thoughts and emotions about a tragic event that happened the day i started reading this book.

Angelia White has three children she is a stay at home mom who bakes cakes on the side. One day she looses her youngest son Evan. In the wake of this unspeakable tragedy her marriage crumbles as her life.

Even though five years had passed since she lost Evan, Angelia is still picking up the pieces. Getting involved in the cause, so she could pour her broken heart into was just another part of the healing process.

Mark and Angelia meet at a ralley and they are basically on opposite sides.

Everything Mark thought he knew and believed in was obliterated when he lost Ashleigh, along with his heart. His wounds are too fresh for Mark to keep his grip on reality. The only way he could pick up the pieces was to fight for a way to prevent any other parent from ever suffering such merciless pain.

Can Angelia and Mark help each other heal? Will they find comfort in each other lives? Can they overcome their grief to move on in their lives?

I highly recommend this book…

The Light At Dawn by K.L. Montgomery was a wonderful book that I absolutely enjoyed. Guns are a hot topic in today’s society and the author wrote the book in such a way that it wasn’t one side or the other. The characters were great and I loved reading about them. The love story was great too. There is some sad stuff that happens. I don’t want to spoil but prepare yourself if you are sensitive to death. Overall it was a great book I can’t recommend it enough. 5 star rating.

The Light at Dawn by K.L. Montgomery is one of those books that are real, a work of fiction that uses today’s headlines and delves into what is happening in our world today. This is the story of Angelia White, a wife and mother, a woman who must navigate through a situation that no parent should ever have to experience. It is also the story of Mark Lyon and his journey through the darkest of days. These two tragic characters learn that no matter what your opinion may be, there is always someone going through the same or similar situation believing differently. Nobody is wrong and nobody is right you just need to learn to see things through another’s eyes and maybe compromise along the way.
I won’t lie and say this was an easy book to read. There were many instances where I had to stop and breathe. Ms. Montgomery paints a very poignant picture at times and makes the reader think “How would I react? What are my views? What is right? What is wrong?” No matter how or when you lose someone there are always questions not to mention those feelings of things never getting better. This author did a terrific job of showing that no matter how bad things are there is always a reason behind them. Read this and cheer for Angelia and Mark to get their light at dawn.

The Light Of Dawn by K.L. Montgomery is the first book I have read by this author. The Light at Dawn is a great read but you will need a box of tissue. In this book you will go through a bunch of emotions. The main characters are relatable and you can honestly feel what they are going through. This book also touches on some hard subjects but makes you see both sides, it is not a one sided read. I would recommend this book to everyone. It’s a book you must add to your TBR Pile. I look forward to reading more books by K.L. Montgomery.

This. Book!

This story epically ruined me and that is something I have never said before. When an author and story can bring out the most raw emotions in you and ones you didn’t think you had, they deserve the 10+ star award.

This was one of those books that the first chapter consumed me and I knew life needed to be put on hold because there was no way I was coming up for air. I tried to slow down but I kept stopping what I was doing just to get wrapped up in the story again. I’m not going to sit here and give the deets because I feel this is one of those books people need to jump in blind and just grab on to that amazing rollercoaster it’ll take you on.

For the last couple of weeks, I’ve tried getting the words down to describe the heart breaking beauty I read but I can’t. All I can say is jump on this book! Everyone needs the shattering story in their life. This is one of those books that will stick with me for a good long time!

The Light at Dawn
By K.L. Montgomery

Oh how I wish I was a writer so I can put into words all the emotions surging through my entire being right now! This book completely shattered me and ripped my heart to pieces and then slowly picked up the pieces. This story left an imprint on heart and soul so deep that it will stay with me forever. The author is a literary genius and I have to thank her for giving me the opportunity to go through this journey of tragedy, life, love, hope, healing, and so much more. The author balanced both sides of some of the political issues that comes with this so expertly. I felt like I knew these characters and felt the emotion jump off the pages. All that I can say is this is an absolute must read story that will reach your heart and soul so have your tissues ready!! I highly recommend this book!

The Light At Dawn is an outstanding 5 star read by K.L. Montgomery that will drag you through every emotion possible. I must advise to have a good supply of tissues handy when you read this book as it is heart-breaking in parts.
Married mother of 3 Angelia White goes through one of those incidents which every parent must dread. That call to say that there is a shooter in their child’s school. Then the heart break of discovering that her beloved 9 year old son Evan is one of the shooter’s victims.
5 years on, now divorced Angelia is an advocate for gun control who speaks at rallies about losing her son. At a rally she meets Mark Lyon, a man with totally opposing views who believes that people have the right to own to own a gun. Despite their opposing views there is an attraction between the 2 which results in a one night stand.
When Mark’s daughter Ashleigh is then cruelly gunned down and killed at school by her ex-boyfriend, Mark’s life crumbles and he begins to question his beliefs. But fate has something else in mind for Mark and Angelia. A new life to look forward to and possibly a future together?
This book contains scenes which are very upsetting but the author does a fantastic job of dealing with these issues in a very sensitive manner. She does not take sides in the gun control debate but shows both sides of the debate, allowing the reader to make their own choices. As someone who lives in the UK where school shootings are not the issue that they are in the US, I have to honestly say that I couldn’t begin to comprehend the worry that parents have regarding their children’s safety in relation to gun control in schools.

The Light at Dawn by K.L. Montgomery is a heartbreaking, heartwarming 4 star read.
This novel hits home to how much family life changes when a tragic accident happens. This follows the lives of a family that lost a son, a brother and the difficulties the family encounter as time passes by.
For Angelia losing her son was hard but what she gained, in the campaign for harder laws against gun control, can only be described as a miracle. Not going to spoil it by what that miracle is, turn those pages to find out.
K.L. Montgomery has written a truly wonderful book here and it will bring a tear to your eyes, page turning and heart wrenching. Enjoy!

Thankfully this review is being written on a laptop and not paper, because after reading this story last week my tears are just now stopping enough to type. My heart is heavy with sadness. But my heart also has room for hope. This story hits close to home, as I have school aged children as well as a gun in our home. Of course, it is safely put away from these teen-aged children. This story really touches on a few different, hard to talk about situations. Situations we see in the real world. The names may have been changed but this could be a story about you, me or even someone we know.

I have read Montgomery before but never have I ever read such a well written story. Never has any of her books made my heart feel like it does now.

Please go buy this book, even if you can’t read it just yet. Have it waiting for you when you need to let your tears fall. Have it knowing that there is a fantastic story waiting when you are ready. You won’t be sorry.

Omg like wow I’m speechless…..Well I have plenty of positives to say about this novel. The one thing you will most definitely need is a HUGE box of tissues, it will have you in a flood of tears and maybe buy an alcoholic beverage too just to help you through this amazing heart wrenching story. I just couldn’t put it down my jaw is still currently on the floor, I’m utterly gobsmacked with how fantastic this storyline is.  It really pulled me in and played complete havoc with my emotions. This story really shows how life can change just like that and your world can be turned completely upside down. I think one thing this story does do is make you open your eyes and realize you shouldn’t take things for granted, live every moment as it can be taken too quickly. Absolutely worth the read!!!

The Light at Dawn is the first book I have read by K.L. Montgomery. I didn’t even know what it was about when I chose to read it. My friend said it was wonderful, so I trusted her and started reading. I am glad I did. It was a wonderful story. At first glance it’s a sad, tragic story, with both main characters loosing their children to school shootings. But then the twist of fate that brings them together, and all the cute romantic gestures from each of them is wonderful. It’s truly a story about fate and second chances. So many awwww moments, turned a sad theme into a beautiful story that I loved. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more by Montgomery.

The Light at Dawn by K. L. Montgomery is an emotional, heart wrenching story, that follows two parents that have lost their children due to suicide. The book explores darker themes, discussing sensitive material that may be upsetting to certain readers. But the book does a beautiful job of handling such a sensitive issue with utmost care and support. Montgomery does a masterful job of weaving two stories into one, with evocative writing that will not only have you crying like a baby, but leave you permanently impacted. It is a beautiful tale of heartbreak and strength, and the effects of how deeply people impact your life. I really really enjoyed this book, despite how much I cried whilst reading it. But it is brutally honest and eye opening to see how these two characters handle their grief, and how they try to keep moving forward, when they’ve lost so much. I highly recommend this book to everyone, as well as encourage everyone dealing with mental health issues to seek help. It ain’t weak to speak.
5/5 stars!

The Light at Dawn is a beautiful story by K. L. Montgomery. The story is about the love story of Angelia and Mark. It is a gripping and tragic tale that morphs into a beautiful love story. At times, oh so heartbreaking to read, I felt my heart grow bigger and bigger at the end of each chapter.

Angelia and Mark suffer unimaginable tragedy. The author tells it from different perspectives, and while it doesn’t seem possible for it to ever work, somehow the elegant and soulful way this author delivers a story, it just all fits, both the heartbreak and the happiness. The balance of these elements is often tough to pull off, but K. L. Montgomery does it spectacularly. A tale of living life, experiencing loss and heartbreak, to rebuilding your life and reviving that spark that made the characters shine. A practitioner of words, this author gave me an unforgettable moment where I got to know her people, cried with them, hurt with them, laughed with them, loved with them, healed with them.

A memorable story that contains sensitive content, but is beautiful in it’s profound and persistent uniqueness. 5 stars.

The Light at Dawn by K. L. Montgomery is one story that I recommend you read. This is a new author for me. I have learned that Montgomery does an amazing job of building her characters so that the reader of her story can have a bond with them. I have taken the emotional journey with Angelia. As I was reading the story, I felt more like a sister with Angelia instead of someone just reading her story. This story is about love, loss and healing process. Mark feels like he has lost everyone and everything. He wanted to stop the horrible felling that a parent goes through if they lose a child. I advise having a box of tissues close while you read this story.

The reason why I read so much is because I love the feelings that I experience while doing so. I love chasing that emotion that will set me over the edge.

Let me just tell you that The Light at Dawn by K.L. Montgomery did JUST THAT. I went in completely and utterly blind. I didn’t know what to expect. And I was not ready for what this book would do to me as an individual, reader, or even woman. It took me a minute to have to gather all of my emotions (which were scattered everywhere) and bottle them right up. But you know what, I’m okay with that. Because as an avid reader, it is exactly what I expect. I expect to bawl my eyes out, and let the snot run down my nose. I expect to get upset at either characters or their situations. I expect to get mad. I love those emotions,it is WHY I read.

I loved everything about this book. I am completely astounded by the author’s ability to create such a beautiful and believable world. I loved getting lost within the pages of this book. I don’t know how else to express all that this book made me FEEL without giving it away. Just know that it’s worth it! This will definitely be considered one of my all time favorite books.

The Light At Dawn by K. L. Montgomery. Wow! That sums up this book. It was a very emotional read but in a very good way. Its the story of Angelia White who suffers the worst trauma ever, the loss of a child in a school shooting. This in turn destroys her marriage. She survives due to her other 2 children and she starts working for stronger gun laws by leading rally’s and going on a public speaking tour. On one of the tours she meets Gun Rights Supporter Mark Lyon and they have an instant connection. Mark is divorced with a daughter Ashleigh who is his world until he suffers an unspeakable tragedy. The connection between Mark and Angelia won’t go away even though they live states apart! Will they be able to overcome the tragedies they have endured to make a long distance relationship work or will they be too scared to take the risk. This is a very emotional book dealing with child loss and school shootings but the writer handles it so well. Its a beautiful story.

The Light at Dawn was a heart wrenching and emotional 5+ star read.

I was pulled right in from the beginning. Angelia and her family go through a tragedy that no family ever wants to experience (Ugly cry moments started instantly). We watch her world come crumbling down around her. We jump ahead five years Angelia is now a single mom who is traveling around and speaking on gun violence.

Mark see’s Angelia at a bar and quickly gets pulled in by her. They end up having drinks and they discover they are both on opposite sides of the right to bare arms. Angelia quickly leaves but can’t get Mark out of her mind. A little time passes and things take a tragic turn for Mark and once again my ugly cry came out. Angelia reaches out to Mark about the tragedy she doesn’t realize it had affected his family directly, her message came at the right time for Mark.

Can these two help heal each other? Can they have a HEA?

There is so much more to this very emotional read. There are things that make you really think about your views on this serious subject and see both sides of the spectrum. These two came together in an unexpected way and helped each other through. I loved the ending, it couldn’t have been more perfect. Be prepared for some twists and turns, K. L. Montgomery does a great job of throwing some very unexpected things in to make the book even better. All of the secondary characters were great, I actually would love to see more from this couple and extended family. A MUST read for sure, have the kleenex handy.

How do you overcome the loss of a child???? You don’t, you just hope and pray to be able to survive. Hoping to find someone or something to get you through an extremely dark time.

The Light at Dawn by K.L. Montgomery is a stand alone contemporary novel. This book does contain sensitive subjects and you may need tissues to make it through but this book is worth it.

I don’t want to say too much about what happened in the book because I don’t want to give any of it away. It was seriously amazing. I didn’t really know what I was getting in to but I’ve read other books by K.L so I figured I’d give it a go. I got so much more than I bargained for and in an amazing way. It touched on a very tough subject and the debate surrounding that but didn’t shine a negative light on either side of the debate and is seriously thought provoking and very emotional. This book is the epitome of an emotional roller coaster. I’m not sure I’ve ever experienced so many things while reading a book. If I had a list of books that I could pretend I didn’t read so I could go back and read it for the first time again, this book would be on the list. This book should be on everyone’s to read list!

The Light at Dawn By KL Montgomery Is a book that will truly rip your heart out, tear it to shreds, stomp on it, and then slowly put it back together. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I was not prepared for all of the emotions that it would make me feel. I found myself crying, laughing, and wondering about the world around me. This book is about so much more than one story it is about grief, heartache, overcoming all of the obstacles that life may throw at you, and at the end of the day love.

This book will make you feel emotions that you didn’t know you could feel. I could not have chosen a better first book to read by this author than this one. While it does deal with sensitive issues the author does a brilliant job of making sure you have no idea where she stands on the issue itself. You can tell that the author did an immense amount of research and portrayed the differences In a very humane and compassionate way.

One of the key things that I feel the book shows that maybe it wasn’t intended Is something that I think is so needed in today’s society. This author showed that 2 people or 2 groups can be on opposite ends of an issue, but still care about each other, love each other, and continue to make the world a better place.

I could not put this book down from the time that I started it until the time that I finished it and I don’t believe that you will either. The one warning that I would give you Is to make sure that you have your box of tissues prepared.

The Light at Dawn is novel by K. L. Montgomery. This is my first novel by this author.

After a tragedy, Angelia is still trying to pick up the pieces of her life five years later. To cope, Angelo’s joins an organization.

Mark Lyon is also trying to find a way to keep moving after losing his daughter Ashleigh.

When the two meet, maybe it’s a time for them both to start to heal instead of only existing.

This was a really emotional book to read. I enjoyed it but it was hard to read. I imagine it would be even more so people who have children or have been in that situation.

I have read a few books by this author and this is by far my favorite and most memorable.

The love story between Mark and Angelia is unimaginable but it still works. I love that they are able to help each other move forward even if that wasn’t how the relationship initially was.

I look forward to the author’s next book.

The first thing you need to know is, have the tissues close by. The subject matter of this book will have you in tears frequently. This story may be a difficult read for some people as it deals with tragic events similar to things that have happened in real life and have been high profile in the news in recent years.

Even though this book does discuss politics to some degree, I am glad that the overall story did not focus on that. The story really is focused on two people who have experienced overwhelming loss and how life brings them together. Their grief is very real, you feel it as you read.

Intensely emotional. Superbly written.

The Light at Dawn by K.L Montgomery had me crying from the first chapter and full blown sobbing on and off all the way through. I did manage to smile a few times too. I had to force myself to put this book down just to get the emotions in check and rest my eyes from all of the tears.

Angelia has her heart ripped from her on a day in September and her life will never ever be the same. How she manages to continue to living is beyond me. I don’t know if I could do it if I were faced with what she is.

Mark experiences the same thing only five years later. His experience was harder for me to read without ugly sobbing because of it being his daughter and I am the mother of two girls, one of which is close to the same age.

This book is an absolute must read! I have read several other by Ms. Montgomery and I think this one will be a favorite of mine for a long time. An amazing story that hits all of the different emotions. Stock up on Kleenex before you start.

“With every Dawn, God shows us we have a brand-new chance, a fresh start.”

This is one of those books that will stick and flash in my head for a long time. From the first line to the very last, I was carried on a wave of emotion. The description of the sky brings it full circle and I will now be looking for the colors described.

The author has written a story that is so common in this day and age I’m afraid we’ve become a bit immune to the victim’s families. It is so complex in its emotions yet has such a simple message – Don’t give up because it does get better and you are NOT alone. Finding a new normal allows life to go on.

I am at a loss for words on this one – all I can say is that I recommend this book.

If there was every a book deserving more than 5 stars, The Light at Dawn by K.L. Montgomery beyond worthy of that recognition. This novel is more than a contemporary romance, it’s the embodiment of growth, healing and overall, love. K.L. Montgomery has written a compelling story that is emotionally raw down to its core touching on topics that are too real in today’s society. It goes beyond and digs deeper into how those events shape our lives and those of others. With Angelia and Mark, the reader is taken on a tragic journey while at the same time the light of dawn peaks through providing glimpses of something more. This story was so well written, that I couldn’t put the book down until I read every single word. Beautiful, full of soul, and so much more! K.L. Montgomery has outdone themselves in this latest novel.

A great read about heartbreak. Angelia’s world is turned upside down when her son Evan is killed by a shooter at school. Lost in grief she decides to tell Evans story at a conference on school shootings. Whilst on a conference, she meets Mark, a single father who has also lost somebody. Can two broken hearts become one and heal together?
A great read. Well developed plot. Well developed characters like Angelia struggling with her feelings but still standing up for herself or Mark harsh exterior but kind underneath. Great cast of supporting characters like the kind Emily or the sweet Jarren.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel with the vivid sense of colour like the sunrise with its soft pinks and dark blues in simple beauty. Or the bright greens of the funeral against the coffin perfectly wirtten
Having it written in Angelia’s perspective was a good idea to display her journey through it all. The theme of loss was beautifully written as sad and sweet and emotive. Overall, a great read and o would give it five stars

Everything about these characters and their journey sucked me in. I won’t say anything at all about the story because you really need to jump straight in and experience this all for yourself. But every single emotion, every single tear is worth it.

First things first.

A checklist to prepare yourself for reading this book!
-Tissues, and plenty of them. Trust me you are going to need them.
-A ready supply of Wine (or your preferred alcoholic drink), or something comforting like hot cocoa.
-A comfortable, quiet place to sit, and maybe a soft blanket and a cushion or two- because you are going to be there for a while as you won’t want to put this book down once you start.
-A friend on standby to call as you may need someone to talk to about the emotional battering you (will) receive.

….Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

The Light At Dawn by K.L Montgomery is a powerful, thought-provoking, heartbreaking, and incredibly emotive story that I am still thinking about long after finishing it. This is my favourite read of Ms. Montgomery’s- and ok, I know I say that about each new release she makes- but seriously- this book really is the top of the pile- it deserves wayyyyyy more than 5 stars!!! Truly it does!
I am at a loss to do this book the justice it deserves, without giving away any spoilers. You will understand my dilemma, once you start reading. Ms. Montgomery has managed to capture so much emotion in these pages, writing a deeply moving story that embodies her passion, creativity, blood, sweat, and tears. The attention to detail, and masterful, descriptive touches really brought the characters and story to life.
Yes, there is a lot of pain, despair, and heartache here- but was brilliantly balanced by the purpose, passion, and hope that is threaded through the storyline. Some parts are not easy to read- but it is worth every heartache and tear!
Bravissimo!!!

Thank you, Ms. Montgomery!

The Light at Dawn
By K.L. Montgomery
Rated 5 stars

This is a story ripped from the headlines. Tragedy, shock and disbelief are what encompasses these characters. Figuring out how to move forward Is their new focus. This story enthralled me. The characters were a breath of fresh air and seemed very real. We are introduced to two families. They each get their own turn to tell their story. But The third section of the story is what I enjoyed the most. There is stress and sadness and a few OMGosh moments but there is also smiling, laughing and love. This story gave me chills and tears numerous times. But that’s what made me love it all the more! This author was able to convey, through her writing, all of the emotions and thoughts that these two (and their families) went through. I felt their turmoil and all the highs right along with them. OMG… that ending is so wonderful! I absolutely loved the way everything rounded out and again…..chills!

This is not my first book by this author but it is (in my opinion) her best work! It’s a hard story to tell but she was able to do it with class and style. I love it when a title fits the story and this one is perfection. Well done!
