A Light in the Dark by Allee Richards

Iris doesn't remember the first time she met Nina. But she remembers the first time she paid attention to her. It was when he did.The first year of high school brought Iris into a type of privilege she'd never felt part of. But then she found her place. The magic of performing in school musicals and the freedom of the stage opened her up to a new world. Her drama teacher gave her a glimpse of the adult she wanted to be. But, just like in the theatre, when the spotlight is off you, it can be a lonely and neglected existence. For Iris, jealousy and bitterness will grow. For Nina, something more dangerous. Reckless anger and rumours will come to a head. And, years later, there is a reckoning for them all.A Light in the Dark is a compelling novel that distils the magic of theatre as the backdrop for an unforgettable examination of friendship, vulnerability, power and abuse.Welcome to the Girls on Tour Book Club, a book club that aims to keep us connected no matter how far apart we are while shining a light on some badass women and gender diverse people within the entertainment industry.
