Reviews
"Thrilling as it is heart-felt, The Speed of Light drew me in from the first page. While its newly-diagnosed heroine struggles with life's unexpected twists, Dickey delivers a story about family, friendship, and the kind of love that truly makes us feel seen." -Elle Marr, bestselling author of The Missing Sister "Compellingly readable, Elissa Grossell Dickey's The Speed of Light takes readers on a harrowing journey through the storm that is Simone Archer's life, starting with her diagnosis of an unpredictable, incurable illness. With the stakes high, the wry and quick-witted Simone discovers hidden inner strength that drives her forward even as she comes face-to-face with her own mortality. The Speed of Light is a suspenseful tale about overcoming illness and fear, and discovering the untapped powers we have within ourselves." -Meredith O'Brien, author of four books including Uncomfortably Numb: A Memoir "The Speed of Light is a gripping page-turner, infused with a compassionate and insightful look at chronic illness." -Kimmery Martin, bestselling author of The Queen of Hearts "Gripping, compelling, and real, The Speed of Light is an incredible debut that lets you inside the mind of a woman whose life has been turned upside down, first by a life-changing medical diagnosis, then by an important new relationship, and then by an unimaginable tragedy at her workplace. Dickey weaves together a story that is impossible to put down, and even as it reminds you that your own life could be irrevocably altered at any moment, it is also filled with encouragement, wisdom, and warmth. A book that calls its reader to empathy and bravery." -Suzy Krause, author of Valencia and Valentine and Sorry I Missed You
