Publisher's summary

In this dramatic mystery, a daughter returns to Chicago to find the truth about a mother she never knew - and her tragic death. Will her journey bring answers or more questions?

Thirty years ago in Chicago, a troubled, full-term pregnant woman escapes from the maternity ward of a hospital and climbs to the top of a 100-foot light tower in an abandoned railway yard. Melody Arnold is convinced that her baby is dead, and neither reassurances from her doctor nor the fact that she is a nurse can convince her otherwise. She jumps. Melody doesn't survive, but miraculously, when the paramedics arrive, a tiny foot protrudes from the woman's stomach, twitching.

Now, Kat Flowers is living in Arizona and celebrating her 30th birthday. Stuck in a rut of dead-end jobs and a failed relationship, she receives a cryptic birthday card from a father she ran away from 14 years ago. Desperate for answers, Kat takes a journey back to Illinois to see a family she left behind and learn the truth about a mother she never knew. Kat shares the journey with the charismatic Zen, who has his own reasons for returning home. There, Kat tries to solve the complicated mystery of her mother's identity...and then understand why she made that tragic leap.

A compelling novel about a mother's dark secrets, The Light Tower explores the lasting connection between a mother and her daughter, even when they never knew each other.

This story about one family's hidden past is a riveting must-listen.

Author Laurie Lisa once again shines through with this incredibly tragic yet real and loving story of a mother and her daughter whose lives were tragically torn apart one fateful day.

Laurie Lisa is a prolific writer of upmarket women’s fiction, with nine completed novels. You can learn more about Laurie and join her Reader List at her website, LaureLisa.com.

Impossible to put the book down!

The Watch Tower is a page turner w/ well-developed characters and a rich, artfully-written story. The tale weaves in issues of mental illness, postpartum depression, infant loss, family pressure, peer pressure, drug addiction, alcoholism. non-physical spousal abuse, and growing up a motherless child parented by a distant father. This is not my first Laurie Lisa read, and certainly not my last! She is an excellent, gifted writer and storyteller. Jeanine Kane does a masterful job of bringing the pages to life in the audio version. This story resonates long after the final page turns.
