Every family has its secrets. Josephina Harris wouldn't mind if her family still had a few of their own after a lawsuit tarnishes their name. When an opportunity opens to become a temporary keeper of a decommissioned lighthouse on a North Carolina island, she jumps at the chance to escape her small town to oversee its restoration. As the work begins, "Joey" discovers strange notes tucked deep in the crevices of the old stone walls--pages torn from a lighthouse keeper's log signed by someone named Mae who recounts harrowing rescues at sea. Fascinated by a woman lighthouse keeper, Joey digs into the past only to discover there's never been a record of a lighthouse keeper by that name. When things start to go amiss on the island, locals are convinced that it is the ghost of the lighthouse keeper and his daughter who were lost at sea during World War II. As Joey sifts through decades of rumors and legends and puts together the pieces of the past, what emerges is a love story--one that's not over yet.

I was engaged from the first paragraphs of the prologue and was sorry when I turned the last page. A lighthouse on the Outer Banks of North Carolina holds secrets, and this dual timeline novel weaving past and present tells the story of family, romance, honor, and finding life’s purpose.
Her family name tarnished, Joey escapes to a remote North Carolina island to oversee the restoration of a lighthouse – one complete with ghost stories, rumors, and notes tucked into the old stone walls.
But this isn’t merely a mystery or a ghost story. It’s a tale of hope layered with themes of love and loss, communication and healing. Author Amanda Cox cleverly juxtaposes the complexities of two families – one from the past and one in the present – acknowledging the similarities of their relationships and struggles.
In addition, this is a story of a young woman who finds her purpose. Joey realizes, “I had this weird habit of helping everyone else’s dream come true without considering my own. I convince myself I’m living, but I’ve actually been in this holding pattern.”
A major theme of this novel is restoration – of relationships, families, as well as the actual lighthouse itself. I enjoyed the way Cox accounted for all the elements as the novel concluded, leaving me moved and satisfied as she truly told another story of “hope, healing, and home.” (
