Maya and the Great Light is the story of how one girl, caught up in a dystopian future, survives with her faith intact, despite having to endure terrible loss and adversity.
Her journey takes her through hostile, gang-controlled territory, where only physical strength is valued, to a secure but shallow society where appearance and the acquisition of power and wealth are treasured above all else.
When that society is then conquered by a nation that sees little value in people, other than how much they could be worked before requiring disposal, can she go against all her instincts and abandon those she loves, to instead allow the wisdom of the Great Light to guide her?
Good people of all faiths should find encouragement in her story, as doing what is right, as opposed to what one wants, is a universal struggle.
