Books like Summer Light by Luanne Rice

May Taylor runs a wedding-planning business that honors the timeless traditions of her grandmother and mother. Her love for family and belief in everyday magic have guided her life until the sudden abandonment of her baby’s father shatters that faith. Raising her daughter, five‑year‑old Kylie, who can see and hear spirits, May finds both comfort and wonder in the small miracles surrounding her. When Kylie's prophetic visions point her to Martin Cartier—an acclaimed professional hockey player with a costly legacy of triumph and loneliness—May sees a chance to heal. Martin’s game‑winning boldness hides a fragile heart, while Kylie's sight blurs the lines between reality and enchantment. Together, the unlikely trio faces the possibility that their shared future could be undone by past bitterness, or that love, once again, might be the guiding light that brings them home.
