I couldn't put this book down, the Fenwick Lighthouse is about 4 miles from my home, it gave me a view of what it could have been like to live during the Civil War. I recommend this book to young girls and boys.

What a beautiful book! My 4th grader didn't undestand a lot of the the big words and larger concepts (they wrote differently during that time period). But I found it very interesting myself! I learned so much in reading it about the life of a woman during that period and what it was like to live in a lighthouse. I enjoyed reading about how strong of a woman she was and taking on duties unlike no other woman would usually be allowed to do by a man. What a strong story!
