‘The Color of Light’
Many often neglect to remember those who are in a position to council on faith—priests, ministers, etc.—sometimes have struggles of their own. In Emilie Richards’ latest book, minister Analiese Wagner is put to the test not only with helping her congregation open their hearts to a homeless family, but also with her attraction to Isaiah Colburn, a past mentor and current holder of her affection who also happens to be a Catholic priest.

In her book “The Mystical Backpacker,” she chronicles her three-month adventure of quitting her job, buying a EuroRail ticket and traversing different countries in order to find out what was missing in her life.
