Every family has its secrets. Josephina “Joey” Harris wouldn’t mind if her family still had a few of their own after a lawsuit tarnishes their name. When an opportunity opens to become a temporary keeper of a decommissioned lighthouse on a North Carolina island, she takes the opportunity to escape the scrutiny of her small town to oversee its restoration.

Soon Joey discovers strange notes tucked deep in the crevices of the lighthouse’s old stone walls—pages torn from a keeper’s log recounting harrowing rescues at sea. When things start to go amiss on the island, locals are convinced that it is the ghost of the lighthouse keeper and his daughter who were lost at sea during World War II.

As Joey sifts through decades of rumors and legends and puts together the pieces of the past, a love story emerges—one that’s clearly not over yet.

“An emotionally gripping must-read [that] reminds us that life is a beautiful gift and love overcomes all.”—Julie Cantrell, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Perennials

The narrator wasn’t a favorite. Her voice was too much of a whisper and monotone at times. She mispronounced several basic words.

Sweet story of forgiveness

It was good to hear the unfurling of the secrets as the book moved along. My fave character was Peter, charming young man

The story itself has alot of twists and turns, and I don’t like to criticize people’s hard work, but this reader using the same inflection for every scene. It’s almost the same rhythm and cadence for each sentence and character. It’s hard not to tune her out when it sounds like a meditation track

Good story, monotone reading

Nice story with fairly predictable plot. Good audio recording. Enjoyable “read”. I would recommend listening.

Very Good Audio Story

The narrator read the story in such a rhythmic way that you could but the back drop of the sea and really be there, smell the air, the food, taste the pie, and feel the sand.
In moments of tension or confusion, the sea was stormy and even deadly. I love audible and when I recognized this cadence in the writing and the narrator’s voice I put on a background of ocean sounds just for fun and it really made the experience wonderful.

The cadence of the story was like life at the ocean.

The book read like 9th grade English class writing assignment, with repetitive phrases (ducking of heads and biting of lower lips) in every chapter. The deep dark family secret was neither. And the weird theological shift near the end was strange. The book and narration just fell flat for me.

Written and performed like a bad Hallmark movie.
