Description
On a remote island off the coast of Western Australia, lighthouse keeper Tom Sherbourne and his wife, Isabel, grapple with the profound grief of losing their child. Their solitary existence is shattered when a rowboat carrying a dead man and a crying infant washes ashore. Faced with a life-altering choice, they decide to keep the baby, naming her Lucy, and raise her as their own, forever altering the course of their lives and the lives of others. This poignant novel explores the complex moral landscape of love, loss, and the devastating consequences of a single decision. As Lucy grows, the weight of their secret becomes increasingly unbearable, forcing Tom and Isabel to confront the truth and its ripple effects on their family and community. M.L. Stedman masterfully weaves a tale of hope, sacrifice, and the enduring power of human connection, even in the face of profound ethical dilemmas.
