Description
Elizabeth's eyes have lost their sparkle, but her mind remains sharp. Music and memories fill the void left by her father's passing, until his journals are discovered after a tragic accident. As she delves into the diaries with the help of Morgan, a teenager performing community service, Elizabeth is drawn into a world that seems far removed from her own. The words on these musty pages come alive as they journey through time to Porphyry Island on Lake Superior, where Elizabeth's father once manned the lighthouse. As they delve deeper into the journals, Elizabeth and Morgan begin to realize their fates are connected to the isolated island in ways they never dreamed. The discovery sheds light on Morgan's connection, but also raises more questions than answers for Elizabeth. The faded pages of the journals hold secrets that threaten to upend Elizabeth's sense of identity. As she navigates this journey through her family's past, Elizabeth and Morgan form an unlikely bond that draws them closer together.
