I was really moved by this excellent first novel from M.L. Stedman and will be anxious to see what she comes up with as a followup. This story is about a young couple in the 1920's who serve on a lighthouse off the coast of Australia. The wife experienced 3 miscarriages and when a baby miraculously shows up on the island, the couple decides to raise her as their own (against the better judgment of the husband). This bad choice leads to some serious consequences 4 years later when it is discovered that the child's mother is still alive. A very emotionally charged novel that I would highly recommend!
