Publisher's Summary
From the best-selling author of The Girl Who Came Home and The Girl from the Savoy comes a novel inspired by the extraordinary story of a remarkable young woman.
1838: when a terrible storm blows up off the Northumberland coast, Grace Darling, the lighthouse keeper’s daughter, knows there is little chance of survival for the passengers on the small ship battling the waves. But her actions set in motion an incredible feat of bravery that echoes down the century.
1938: when 19-year-old Matilda Emmerson sails from across the Atlantic to New England, she faces an uncertain future. Sent away in disgrace, she must stay with her reclusive relative, Harriet Flaherty, a lighthouse keeper on Rhode Island. Once there, Matilda discovers a discarded portrait that opens a window onto a secret that will change her life forever.

Beautiful
What a beautifully written story. I wanted to keep listening and at the same time didn’t want it to end. The narrator did it justice.

This was a totally encompassing story
I thought the narrator was excellent with her varying accents and expression which very much portrayed the emotions and feelings at varying times of the story.
The story was of courage.

A great Read
A great story with excellent narration.
This story introduced the characters at a smooth pace, although a sad ending it portrays the hard work & dedication the lighthouse keepers endured,
This story gives a brief insight to how life was as a keeper in the 1800's to early 1900"s.
I got this book as a daily read special price but its worth full price.
Highly recommended.

Women of courage and Independence
This book is well narrated but do not expect it to be an uplifting story. It tells of what life was like for women of the particular eras that are covered in this story. Women of courage and of striving for some independence.
