''A Northern Light'', or ''A Gathering Light'' in the U.K., is an American historical novel for young adults, written by Jennifer Donnelly and published by Harcourt in 2003. The story is known as Realistic Fiction because of the untrue life story of Mattie Gokey, the real death of Grace Brown, and the events that could take place in the 1900s. Set in northern Herkimer County, New York in 1906, it is based on the Grace Brown murder case —the basis also for ''An American Tragedy'' by Theodore Dreiser (1925). It features a girl -the narrator-, who gets caught up in the events. In the U.K., Bloomsbury published an edition within the calendar year, entitled ''A Gathering Light'', and Donnelly won the 2003 Carnegie Medal, recognizing the year's outstanding book by a British author for children or young adults.〔〔("The Carnegie Medal: Recent Winners" ).

Jennifer Donnelly intertwines this real-life murder of Grace Brown with fictional Mattie Gokey's story. The readers get a taste of how bitter and sweet ordinary life is in the 1900s mixed with a non-fiction murder mystery.〔("Editorial Reviews: Amazon.com Review" ). Jennifer Lindsay. ''Amazon.com''.
