This coming-of-age Christian novel depicts the romanticism of adventurous island lighthouse living and courtship in the early 1900s along with the heartbreak, trials, and joy of everyday life. Michael LaPierre's great-grandfather, Albert Clinch, was the lighthouse keeper from 1913 through 1918 on Franklin Island and his grandmother, Lola Clinch, was an appreciative beneficiary of that life-altering Christian experience.

President Thomas Jefferson is widely credited with ordering the construction of the Franklin Island Lighthouse in the beautiful State of Maine. It was subsequently authorized by Congress in 1808 and built in 1809.

This book not only captures an important part of our American history but also explores a patriotic and Christian influence while depicting what it is like to be a Maine "Islander" on this 12-acre parcel of land situated in the ominous, foreboding, and treacherous headwaters of Muscongus Bay!

This highly anticipated historical fiction work celebrates the 250th year of our Declaration of Independence by highlighting one of our historical and vital national treasures!
