The Year the Lights Came On is a touching book about Colin, an eleven-year-old growing up in rural Georgia during the advent of electricity. The conflicts between the haves and have-nots has never been worse, and Colin is just now coming of age. Terry Kay's first novel is both poignant and humorous and can be studied for its literary aspects by high school students. Kay, Terry. (1989). The Year the Lights Came On.
