Josie has spent most of her life believing that her role is to help other people shine.
In the quiet rhythms of Seabrook Cove, her days pass much as they always have, documenting ordinary lives, sharing coffee with lifelong friends, and capturing the small acts of kindness that quietly hold a community together, until a local filmmaker announces a documentary about her.
When the camera turns in her direction, old certainties begin to unravel. Strange dreams linger after waking. Familiar places seem different. Conversations she has had a hundred times begin to reveal new meanings. The people she loves seem to know things about her that she has never allowed herself to see.
As the boundary between who she has been and who she truly is begins to blur, Josie finds herself pulled toward a truth that refuses to remain buried.
But some discoveries demand a price.
To move forward, she must confront a lifetime of self-concealment before she loses the chance to fully inhabit the life that has been waiting for her all along.
Can Josie uncover what has been waiting for her all along?
The Mystic of the Spotlight is a deeply moving literary novel about visibility, belonging, friendship, love, and the courage to stop becoming who everyone else needs you to be.
