Catch Jay Asher on his WHAT LIGHT book tour!
Jay Asher wowed readers with the 2007 release of Thirteen Reasons Why and after a long stretch of waiting for another solo book from the author, What Light is coming next month!
“They both express the importance of being there for others and of letting others be there for you. They both address the long-lasting effects of rumors,” Asher said of his two books. “But instead of a cautionary tale, What Light is uplifting.”
Bustle has a first look at Jay Asher’s tour for the book release, which will start in the southeast before looping into the west and midwest.

What Light hits shelves on October 11, 2016. You can pre-order it now via Amazon.
Sierra’s family runs a Christmas tree farm in Oregon—it’s a bucolic setting for a girl to grow up in, except that every year, they pack up and move to California to set up their Christmas tree lot for the season. So Sierra lives two lives: her life in Oregon and her life at Christmas. And leaving one always means missing the other.
Until this particular Christmas, when Sierra meets Caleb, and one life eclipses the other.
By reputation, Caleb is not your perfect guy: years ago, he made an enormous mistake and has been paying for it ever since. But Sierra sees beyond Caleb’s past and becomes determined to help him find forgiveness and, maybe, redemption. As disapproval, misconceptions, and suspicions swirl around them, Caleb and Sierra discover the one thing that transcends all else: true love.
