Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
A young mother is left alone to tend a lighthouse in nineteenth-century Key West, until an unexpected beacon of hope arrives, in this “compelling” novel (Daphne Kalotay, author of Russian Winter). On the rugged, remote Florida island known as Wreckers’ Cay, Emily Lowry’s husband handles the demanding job of tending the lighthouse while Emily cares for their children—and waits for the birth of her youngest. But when he vanishes, and months pass with no word, Emily has no choice but to take over his responsibilities. Then Andrew, a runaway slave, washes up on the beach. He is instantly likable, but Emily is wary. Soon, though, he’s won her family over, and becomes someone they can depend on as they work together to survive, far from the rules and judgments of society. But when Emily’s life is shattered once again, her love, strength, and determination will be sorely tested . . . “In her richly nuanced novel, Brady has created a heroine readers are unlikely to ever forget . . . Absolutely fantastic and unputdownable.” —Michelle Moran, national bestselling author of Nefertiti “Forbidden love, passion, greed, revenge, and murder . . . [Brady] knows how to stop your heart on one page and pull your heartstrings on the next.” —John Viele, author of The Wreckers
