About the Book



"She helps others manage their desperate lives--but who will help her? Clinical psychologist Camille Brooks isn't put off by the lifestyle of her hoarding clients. After all, she lost her mother to the crippling anxiety disorder. She'll go a long way to help others avoid the same pain and loss. Despite Camille's expertise, her growing audience for her Let in the Light podcast, and the national recognition she's gaining for her creative coaching methods, there are some things she isn't prepared for. A client who looks far too much like her mom catches her off guard. And the revelation that she's also hoarding something sends her spinning. Can she stand to let the light into her own life with the help of a friend who wants to stand by her for life and the God who created and loves her? Or will she find that defeating her demons proves too much to bear?"--



Book Synopsis



"Cynthia Ruchti delivers it all in this masterful, compassionate tale of redemption."
--Rhonda Rhea, award-winning humor columnist, TV personality, and author

Clinical psychologist Camille Brooks isn't put off by the lifestyle of her hoarder clients and the distress of their families. She lost her mother to the crippling anxiety disorder--so she'll go a long way to help others avoid the same pain.

Despite Camille's expertise, her growing audience for her Let In the Light podcast, and the recognition she's gaining for her creative coaching methods, she's not prepared for the pushback. A client who looks uncannily like her mom catches her off guard and raises long-dormant issues. And the revelation that Camille has her own hoarding problem sends her spinning.

With the help of a cadre of unexpected friends, an enigma of a man who refuses to be discouraged, and the God who created and loves her, can she face her fears, pull back the curtains, and let the light into her own life?

"Ruchti's book shines a light on the realities of hoarding and its impact on those around the hoarder.

"Who knew that a novel about hoarding could hold both quirky romance and redemptive healing in equal measure? Hoarding is a deeply painful and multifaceted disorder, yet favorite author Cynthia Ruchti brings great compassion and finesse to the issue in Afraid of the Light. I entered a whole new world as I eagerly devoured the story of Camille and Eli reaching out in different ways (and for different reasons) to those trapped in the prison of their own accumulations. Ruchti's extensive research gave me greater insight and empathy, and the love story is clever and utterly endearing. Ruchti is such a grand storyteller, reminding us all that there truly can be complete (albeit slow) transformation through the healing power of Jesus--the only source of Light."--Lucinda Secrest McDowell, author of Soul Strong and Life-Giving Choices (5/17/2020 12:00:00 AM)

Filled with heartfelt moments and dynamic characters.--Woman's World, This Week's Best New Books Pick (6/29/2020 12:00:00 AM)

Ruchti (Miles from Where We Started) delivers an insightful portrait of a wounded psychologist trying to make amends for the mother with hoarding disorder that she couldn't save. . . . This sensitive portrayal of mental illness and its generational impact is Ruchti's best work yet. --Publishers Weekly, starred review-- "Publishers Weekly, Starred Review" (5/4/2020 12:00:00 AM)
