The Light Between the Tiles follows eight‑year‑old Eli, a boy with autism and ADHD who begins seeing Jesus each dawn. As his family unravels under the weight of addiction, infidelity, and poverty, Eli's quiet faith and keen attention become the steady force that holds them together. Tender, hopeful, and unflinching, this novella explores how small acts of courage, community, and love can push back the darkness and begin the slow work of healing.
