"Sources of Light" by Margaret McMullan follows the journey of a young girl named Ben who, during a summer spent with her mother in the town of McCullough, discovers her family's complex history. As she explores her artistic abilities, Ben is drawn to the stories of her ancestors and the impact of World War II. The novel weaves themes of art, love, and the harsh realities of war, ultimately highlighting the power of stories and the importance of remembering the past. Through her experiences, Ben learns to navigate her own identity and the rich tapestry of her family’s legacy. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
