"[A] riveting tale of piracy and shipwrecks with an insightful and
attentive eye on the roles of women so often overlooked by
history."—Jill McCorkle, author of Life After Life and Crash Diet
Immersive historical fiction that brings two women out of the shadows
of the men who surround them, and into the light of their own
capabilities. Hannah shouldn't be in the water, saving shipwrecked
sailors. Her husband would be furious—it's his job to tend to the
lighthouse on Cape Cod, to warn the ships off the rocks. But when the
ship Cynthia Rose runs aground, John is away buying supplies, and
Hannah rushes out into the storm. She can only fish one sailor out of
the icy water—weatherworn, half-drunk Billy. Annie lives a stifling
life as the wife of a sea captain. When tragedy strikes, she realizes
that she can no longer be a passenger in her own life. Soon, she's
swept into a world of pirates, danger, and other women who fight for
what they want no matter the price. When Hannah gets word that John
will not return home to her, she sinks into grief so deep that she
feels she may never surface again. With Billy's help, though, she
continues to run the lighthouse, keeping the lamps blazing even during
her darkest hours. But Billy is not all that he seems, and the secrets
he's keeping may unlock new possibilities for both Hannah and Annie. A
powerful historical romance, The Lightkeeper's Wife pits two women
against the merciless storms and seas of Cape Cod in a novel that will
shine for fans of The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Steadman and What
the Wind Knows by Amy Harmon.
