Por que colocar meu coração em algo que o destino simplesmente vai separar na manhã de Natal? Sierra e sua família vivem duas vidas: uma no Oregon e outra na Califórnia, durante as festas de fim de ano. Eles são donos de uma fazenda de árvores de Natal, mas este pode ser o último ano de Sierra na Califórnia com Heather, uma de suas melhores amigas. As coisas parecem sair de controle quando Caleb, dono de um belo sorriso acompanhado de uma covinha, surge em busca de uma árvore. O que deveria ser apenas um "romance de Natal", torna-se algo muito mais profundo. Apesar de sua aparência, os boatos que rondam Caleb sobre seu passado não são tão belos – e muito menos confiáveis –, fazendo com que Sierra precise tomar decisões sobre em quem ela deve confiar e até mesmo confrontar seus pais. Mesmo com tudo conspirando para que as luzes do último Natal de Sierra na Califórnia se apaguem, Caleb e ela aprenderão como contornar todas as situações. "Uma bela história sobre amor e perdão." – Stephen Chbosky, autor de As vantagens de ser invisível

Sierra vive no Oregon, onde os pais possuem uma plantação de pinheiros. Quando chega o inverno, a família muda-se para a Califórnia para vender as árvores durante a época natalícia. Sierra tem assim duas vidas: uma no Oregon e outra na Califórnia. Estar numa vida significa deixar a outra, mas isso pouco lhe importa até que um dia, perto do Natal, conhece Caleb, e uma vida eclipsa a outra. Caleb não é o rapaz perfeito. Uns anos antes cometeu um erro muito grave e ainda está a pagar por isso. Mas Sierra consegue ver para além do passado de Caleb e está determinada a ajudá-lo a encontrar o perdão e a redenção. Um clima de suspeitas, preconceito e desaprovação surge em torno deles, e Caleb e Sierra não conseguem deixar de se interrogar se o amor é realmente suficiente para ultrapassar todos os obstáculos... Aquela Luz é o novo romance do autor de Por Treze Razões.
