A Spark of Light

The Center for women's reproductive health offers a last chance at hope - but nobody ends up there by choice.
Its very existence is controversial, and to the demonstrators who barricade the building every day, the service it offers is
no different from legalised murder. Now life and deathd ecisions are being made horrifyingly real: a lone protester
with a gun has taken the staff, patients and visitors hostage. Starting at the tensest moment in the negotiations for their
release, A Spark of Light unravels backwards, revealing hourby urgent hour what brought each of these people - the
gunman, the negotiator, the doctors, nurses and women whoh ave come to them for treatment - to this point.

Perfect for reading groups and word of mouth engagement.
