Laguna Woods, CA, June 05, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Maria C. Mendoza, a loving mother of four who resides in Orange County, California, has completed her new book, “Like Light Passing Through a Window”: a stirring tale set against the backdrop of the 1960s in America that follows a young woman who, amidst a world of social change and free speech, finds herself falling head over heels in love.

“At a pivotal time in history, as the social revolutions of the ’60s are beginning, Marina Candelaria is eager to leave the chrysalis of cultural tradition and the drudgery of the family business and attend the University of California at Berkeley,” writes Mendoza.

“Instead of becoming a teacher, she is embroiled in a new world of protests and free thought…and an emotional captivation by the beautiful Kenny Laughlin.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Maria C. Mendoza’s enthralling tale is partly inspired by the author’s love of the 1960s and will transport readers as they follow along on Marina’s journey to discover who she truly is in a world of constant change and shifting norms. Expertly paced and character driven, “Like Light Passing Through a Window” is a love letter to the ‘60s that is sure to keep readers spellbound, leaving them eager for more with each turn of the page.
