Beacons of Light: Inspiring people and places

By Annette Barker

This collection of stories was inspired by people and places who illuminated the author's past. Beacons of Light contains both fictional and autobiographical reflections, driven by a love of language and teaching, an appreciation of nature and a gratitude for the encouragement and support received at different stages of her journey. These delightful tales may be brief but the richness of the writing makes each one a jewel. They roam across Italy, France and the UK; they touch on truth, trust, inspiration, courage and loss; they address reform, science, philosophy and art; they take you to beautiful places, awaken your taste buds and draw us into a thoughtful look at what underpins a full life. Annette Barker's first book, Our French Connection, was for her family but let us be glad she feels able to share her second with all of us.
