A Light in the Northern Sea is a sweeping historical novel by Tim Brady that brings to life a pivotal moment in early American history through the lens of courage, faith, and survival. Set against the harsh and uncertain landscape of the North Atlantic world, the novel follows characters whose lives are shaped by religious conviction, political upheaval, and the dangerous promise of a new land. As old loyalties are tested and new identities forged, Brady explores the moral choices individuals must make when belief, power, and freedom collide.

Blending meticulous historical research with vivid storytelling, A Light in the Northern Sea illuminates the little-known Jewish experience in the colonial era and the broader struggle for tolerance in a world defined by rigid authority and perilous journeys. The novel captures both the brutality and hope of the age, offering a deeply human story about perseverance, conscience, and the search for belonging.
