The Lightkeeper's Daughters
Author: Jean E. Pendziwol
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062572032
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
In an “intricately satisfying story about love and deception,” an old woman shares her childhood with a troubled teen and uncovers a decades-old mystery (Kirkus Reviews). Though her mind is still sharp, Elizabeth’s eyes have failed. No longer able to linger over her beloved books or gaze at the paintings that move her spirit, she fills the void with music and memories of her family, especially her beloved twin sister, Emily. When her late father’s journals are discovered after an accident, the past suddenly becomes all too present. With the help of Morgan, a delinquent teenager performing community service at her senior home, Elizabeth goes through the diaries, a journey through time that brings the two women closer together. Entry by entry, these unlikely friends are drawn deep into a world far removed from their own, to Porphyry Island on Lake Superior, where Elizabeth’s father manned the lighthouse and raised his young family seventy years before. As the words on these musty pages come alive, Elizabeth and Morgan begin to realize that their fates are connected to the isolated island in ways they never dreamed. While the discovery of Morgan’s connection sheds light onto her own family mysteries, the faded pages of the journals will shake the foundation of everything Elizabeth thinks she knows and bring the secrets of the past into the light. “A perfect hammock read for those who love the Brontë sisters and Jodi Picoult in equal measure.” —Publishers Weekly “Fans of Heather Young and Jojo Moyes might want to look into Jean Pendziwol.” —Library Journal “Deeply satisfying.” —Booklist

Fire Island Lighthouse
Author: Bill Bleyer
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1439663483
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
The first Fire Island Lighthouse was constructed in 1826 after numerous shipwrecks along the barrier island. A replacement tower built in 1858 incorporated innovations in lighthouse design such as the Fresnel lens. Vessels anchored offshore, known as lightships, augmented the lighthouse for many years. The Coast Guard shut down the site in 1973. Through the efforts of the Fire Island Lighthouse Preservation Society and the National Park Service, the beautiful structure was meticulously restored and the tower relit in 1986. Along with a selection of wonderful color photographs depicting the grandeur of the lighthouse, author Bill Bleyer charts the history of Long Island's cherished Fire Island Lighthouse.
