Brilliant Traces, by Cindy Lou Johnson, is a powerful story centering around the mysterious circumstances that unite two strangers. As both the mystery and characters unravel, a touching and, at times, hilarious tale of love and loss is revealed. The throat-gasping climax leaves all with both a renewed faith in life's detours and a renewed sense of the brilliant traces of life within us each.
