Publisher Description

When you're like me, you have to lie.
It’s been one year since Manny was cast out of his family and driven into the wilderness of the American Southwest. Since then, Manny lives by self-taught rules that keep him moving—and keep him alive. Now, he’s taking a chance on a traveling situation with the Varela family, whose attractive but surly son, Carlos, seems to promise a new future.

I can't let anyone down.
Eli abides by the rules of his family, living in a secluded community that raised him to believe his obedience will be rewarded. But an unsettling question slowly eats away at Eli’s once unwavering faith in Reconciliation: Why can’t he remember his past?

What am I supposed to do?
But the reported discovery of an unidentified body found in the hills of Idyllwild, California, will draw both of these young men into facing their biggest fears and confronting their own identity—and who they are allowed to be.

Find the truth.
For fans of Courtney Summers and Tiffany D. Jackson, Into the Light is a ripped-from-the-headlines story with Oshiro's signature mix of raw emotions and visceral prose—but with a startling twist you’ll have to read to believe.

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

“I didn't really want to give this a star rating but apparently I can't do that here. It would've been a 4 star read if not for the plot twist. The atmosphere of this book is built well: it is tense, it is horrifying, it is confusing, and it is a reflection of reality. It was easy to fall into the mystery and to sympathize with the characters, even if I personally don't share these traumas. I wasn't the biggest fan of the writing style, but it did complement the story in a way. And the twist at the end, while I understandable, didn't work for me.”
