The Coming of the Dawn Philip Brande

The Coming of the Dawn is a story about a boy having to become a man quite quickly. The lessons that Simon learns and the truths he discovers about himself and his relationship with the world and with God will help transform him into that man. This is a story about growing up, about love and loss, but ultimately about learning to trust. For Simon, this means having to admit that he cannot always be in control, which is hard for a king to do. Through tragedy and triumph, Simon learns to let go of his fears and anger and surrender them to a higher power. Only through the strength of God, can he face the loneliness of the night and find the joy that comes with the dawn.
