About this product

Product Information

In 1861, Amelia Martin's father is stripped of his post as a ship's captain when he is caught harboring the leader of a slave rebellion. Now he is an assistant lighthouse keeper on Fenwick Island, off the coast of Delaware-a state wedged between the North and the South, just as Amelia is wedged between her constantly arguing parents. Amelia's mother blames her abolitionist husband for their living conditions, which she claims are taking a toll on her health. As the Civil War rages on, Amelia slowly learns that she cannot stop the fighting, but by keeping watch in the lighthouse each day, lighting the lamps, cleaning the glass, and rescuing victims of Atlantic storms, she can make a difference.

  • From Out of the Dust's Karen Hesse

    This book is well-written. It also features properly researched history and offers black and gray morality in the forms of Oda Lee and Amelia's mother, who constantly feels joint pain and is in favor of slavery. It also features proper lighthouse lingo and actual lighthouse keeper chores. None of the pages feature false info unlike My Heart is on The Ground or The Girl Who Chased Away Sorrow. Plus, this is written by the author who wrote Out of the Dust.
