The Light Behind
the Mountain
An upmarket book-club novel set in New Hampshire's White Mountains. When a group of longtime friends gathers for a winter weekend at Lantern House — a restored nineteenth-century inn run by an artificial intelligence called Adaptive — they expect fresh snow and familiar company. What they find is a house that has been quietly learning them, and a mystery that pulls their marriages, friendships, and carefully told versions of the past into the open.
The Light Behind the Mountain is currently in revision. Tammy Leigh Kahn is seeking literary representation.
Cover concept created to capture the atmosphere and setting of the novel. Final cover design will evolve as the book moves toward publication.

The Writer
Tammy Leigh Kahn writes from New England, where the landscape and the long friendships that outlast it keep turning up in her fiction. Years spent building technology companies left her curious about a quieter question: what happens to intimacy, memory, and identity when the machines around us start to know us well.
