The Wrong Light
Hannah Reid spends her days on nursing rounds across the outer edge of Melbourne — changing dressings, reassuring young mothers, where the new estates run up against the bush. She has a wedding to plan, a big Greek family, and a faith worn so lightly she has never once had to fight for it.
Her fiancé, Josh, is building the national identity system that will make everything fairer, safer: one login for benefits, medicine, belonging — so that no one falls through the cracks. And when a frightened world finally exhales behind a single calm face that no one can quite place, the relief is total.
It is the relief that frightens her.
As the kind new order tightens by quiet degrees, Hannah will have to learn what her faith is actually for — and what it costs to tell the true light from the one that is almost the same.
