About this listen

Before the Neon is both intimate and expansive, a Western family saga and a prelude to the rise of Las Vegas. It begins in a shack where beans simmer thinly and debts weigh heavier than gold, and it stretches toward a city where neon lights will one day sell illusions to the world. Through Clara, Thomas, Lila, and Rachel, the novel reveals how survival, temptation, and silence echo across generations, binding dust to neon, past to future.

It is a story about promises—how easily they are made, how rarely they are kept, and how the strength to endure them often falls to those who never signed the paper. In the end, the refrain remains, a prayer across the years: Come home in the light.
