Carry the Light offers a glimpse into the paranormal world of Cassandra Raven, a caretaker of animals who reads auras, sees visions, and- for the sheer joy of it- hitches rides on streamers of light. Grieving the death of a beloved friend, she even travels to the brink of eternity to say goodbye. But these out-of-body excursions unbalance her mind, and after stints in mental hospitals and treatment with numbing drugs, she's learned to guard her psyche better. It doesn't mean she can't enjoy the vivid glimpses her mind provides of the universe. She simply has to curtail the exotic means she uses to travel its boundaries. In Carry the Light, Cass is nurturing orphan bear cubs in the snowy mountains of Montana when she suddenly sees her sister Lee's car careen into the icy Flathead River. Within hours of the accident, Lee is accused of driving drunk and killing a good friend. Cass knows better. No alcohol flows in Lee's veins, and now a real murderer is poised to blow up Lee's house-with both sisters in it. But who's listening to a crazy woman? Certainly not Lee. Cass must appeal to both sides of the spiritual veil for answers, and fears no one will believe her-in time or even at all.
