"Tom Everson, forced to flee his home during the 2015 oil riots, returns eight years later to find the girl he had to leave behind, start a business and make a life for them both. But he had to sneak into the country illegally, the energy situation has only gotten worse, and the country may break out in renewed riots at any time! Did Tom arrive at exactly the wrong moment?"
This is a romantic boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy returns after eight years to find girl story, set amidst the turmoil surrounding America's present and future energy crisis. The story predicts overseas conflicts between other nations, underhanded politics and corporate dealings, and domestic conflicts as the American public must decide when enough is enough. And it describes new ways of living, getting around and working in a nation without excess energy, none of which are outside of the realm of possibility within the next decade.
The American energy situation may be the backdrop to the action, but it is the main character's quest to find the girl he loves, start a business and carve out a life for themselves that is its focus. Chasing the Light shows the reader how far people will go for love, and why it's worth every bit of the effort.
