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

The Lightkeepers' Menagerie
Author: Elinor De Wire
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1561648671

Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
Elinor De Wire has been writing about lighthouses and their keepers since 1972. During that time she found that hundreds of lighthouse animals wandered into her research notes and photo collection. This book is the story of all these cold-nosed, whiskered, wooly, hoofed, horned, slithery, buzzing, feathered, and finned keepers of the lights. Where else would a dog learn to ring a fogbell, a cat go swimming and catch a fish for its supper, or a parrot cuss the storm winds rattling its cage? Who other than a lightkeeper would swim a cow home, tame a baby seal, adopt an orphan alligator, send messages via carrier pigeons, or imagine mermaids coming to visit? The Lightkeepers' Menagerie gathers together animal stories from lighthouses all around the world, tales of happiness and sadness, courage and cowardice, tragedy and comedy, even absurdity. Sometimes, fur, feathers, and fins tell the best tales.

Soon, she's swept into a world of pirates, danger, and other women who fight for what they want no matter the price. When Hannah gets word that John will not return home to her, she sinks into grief so deep that she feels she may never surface again. With Billy's help, though, she continues to run the lighthouse, keeping the lamps blazing even during her darkest hours. But Billy is not all that he seems, and the secrets he's keeping may unlock new possibilities for both Hannah and Annie. A powerful historical romance, The Lightkeeper's Wife pits two women against the merciless storms and seas of Cape Cod in a novel that will shine for fans of The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Steadman and What the Wind Knows by Amy Harmon.
