The Lightkeeper's Daughters by Jean E. Pendziwol
About the Book
Elizabeth’s eyes have failed. She can no longer read the books she loves or see the paintings that move her spirit, 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 troubled teenager, Morgan, to read them aloud and help her unlock the mystery at the centre of her life. As a young girl, growing up in a lighthouse on Porphyry Island, Lake Superior, she discovered a hidden grave by the edge of the lake that has caused her to question her own life, and that of her enigmatic twin sister, ever since.
But for Elizabeth, the faded pages of her father’s journals reveal more secrets than she anticipates.
