The fifth book in the Eastern Kentucky Girl series, This Little Light looks in on Emily Conn as a somewhat more mature girl, and she becomes a teenager before the book's end. The challenges she faces in this volume are no longer childish adventures and mishaps. Emily's troubles have become more difficult to accept, work through, and move forward from. Will her indomitable spirit prevail, or will grief and sorrow completely tear her world apart?Based loosely on the life of the author, This Little Light continues the tale of Emily Conn as she grows up in Appalachian Floyd County, Kentucky. Previous books in this series are The Soup Bean War, The Melting Pot, I Wish I May, and a Fine Thing. One more book, A New Day, completes the series.
