This intriguing story by Beth Winokur, is a very different paranormal tale.

She finds she is not alone in her predicament and that there are many more souls in the same situation she had been in, trapped outside of their bodies, watching 'intruders' living the lives meant to be theirs.Finding friendship and support after being brutally treated inside the facility, she concludes she is not as vulnerable as she first believed and discovers the courage she needs, to take on the intruders and the controlling bodies of the facility.Sunshine in the Darkness is a unusual story and quite different, touching quite a dark subject. Beth Winokur has put together a very unique read, which I am sure her readers will find intriguing and quite thought provoking.
