Elizabeth’s eyes have failed. She can no longer read the books she loves or see the paintings that move her, but her mind remains sharp, and music fills the vacancy left by her blindness.
When her father’s journals are discovered on a shipwrecked boat, she enlists the help of a delinquent teen, Morgan, to read to her. As an unlikely friendship grows between them, Elizabeth is carried back to her childhood home – the lighthouse on Porphyry Island, Lake Superior – and to the memory of her enigmatic twin sister, Emily.
But for Elizabeth, the faded pages of her father’s journals reveal more secrets than she anticipates.
Read by Laurel Lefkow.
A beautiful, well crafted story The Light Keeper’s Daughters is one of those that, as a writer, I wish I had written myself! It’s glorious…so well put together and well thought out. As some before me have stated, this book takes you to the turbulent shores of Lake Superior, to the light house and right into the heart of a beautiful story of love, loss and secrets.Â
Would Make A Great Movie The Light Keeper’s Daughters is told in the voices of Elizabeth and Morgan. Elizabeth is in a nursing home where Morgan is sent to perform community service. When two police officers show up at the Nursing Home to deliver news that Elizabeth’s brother was involved in a boating accident they also bring her Father’s missing journals. Elizabeth is almost blind and persuades Morgan to read the Journals to her. What follows is a beautiful and breathtaking story that weaves back and forth in time…
Enjoyed the book Great summer reading.
