Mizpah 6: The Porch Light

Book 6 of "Mizpah." Grandma Ruth's porch light has burned all night, every night, for fifty-three years, and nobody alive but Ruth knows why. Then a fall brings her to the Taylor farm, the white house on Cherry Street goes dark, and something out west takes notice, crossing Cade County toward Shawn one dusk at a time. The most frightening thing about the figure made of dust is not its face that will not stay still; it is what it has come to find out.

What you'll discover

As you move through the story and make choices, your DISC personality profile takes shape across four traits:

  • The Lantern Bearer

    You move first and stand closest. When something has to be carried into the scariest spot in the room, your hands go up before anyone asks, and they do not shake until afterward.

  • The Gathering Light

    You hold people together with your voice. You know the right question, the right story at bedtime, and the right word at the glass, and courage spreads out from you like warmth from a stove.

  • The Dusk Companion

    You are the one who walks the rounds, keeps the watch, and stays beside whoever needs staying beside. Nothing gets past you, and nobody gets left out of your count.

  • The Signal Counter

    You notice what does not fit and you make the pattern come out true. When everything depends on getting it right the first time, everyone in the room is glad the count is yours.
