The Lightkeeper's Daughters
The
Lightkeeper’s Daughters, by Jean E. Pendziwol, is a novel set on Lake Superior.
It is an affecting story of family, identity, and art, that involves a
decades-old mystery.
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 after an
accident, she enlists the assistance of a delinquent teenager, Morgan, who is
completing community service at the retirement home where Elizabeth lives, and
together they read the musty books.
An unlikely relationship develops between the two women as they are drawn into the words of the Porphyry Island light-keeper penned more than 70 years ago. In the process, they discover they are both connected to the isolated island, their lives touched by Elizabeth’s enigmatic twin sister Emily and the beautiful but harsh Lake Superior environment.
But for Elizabeth, the faded pages of her father’s journals hold more secrets than she anticipates and threaten the very core of who she is.
