The Brightest: A Novella (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781720439936)

On break from college, bookish and beautiful Robyn accepts an invitation to attend a local literary event. Among the crowd of readers is Jay, flirtatious and passionate, he is there for the same reason she is: to confront celebrated author Gatory Penn.

Penn is a brilliant old writer. He's disarmingly sharp, brutally cynical and deeply heartbroken. His novel, December Letters, is a treatise on the failings of love and the impossibility of fate to help find it.

As Robyn and Jay begin to realize just how fated they might be, Penn's words challenge them to question it. In only a single night, can confronting an old man's broken heart be the key to their own brightest love?
