As a child, Peter O' Banyon's life changed irrevocably when his family was killed in a car accident. He was sent to live with his Uncle Billie, the keeper of the Port Hope Lighthouse in Massachusetts. From Billie, he learns the secret of keeping love alive, even when tragedy strikes. World War II takes Peter away from the lighthouse and his beloved Anna, but he isn't prepared for the ravages of war and the brutality that can kill a man's soul. But Peter is tested even further when he returns home. Can he learn the lesson of the lighthouse keeper? And at the end of his life, can he pass that lesson on to his daughter?… (mere)

I liked the symbolism in this book. I had to read it. My grandmother's grandfather was a lighthouse keeper in Maine. The writing style and tone remind me slightly of the book, Ahab's Wife. It's a story from another time, with remarkably detailed WWI scenes. But it's the story of an Irish family and of two keepers of the light. More than that, it's about the human heart and life. It's more than I can say in a review. What came to mind more than once was how we all ride the waves of life and make choices that affect others and ourselves. (

Maudlin christain story of an Irish immigrant & descendants, Te first man's railing against his trials and tribulations somehow calmed to acceptance after looking at a picture given to the first immigrant by his local priest. The next generations similar tragedies similarly accepted after reading a letter left by the first. Two generations are lighthouse keepers. The format is the final son's reminiscing on his deathbed to his daughter-in-law. A fair amount of this man's story takes place in WWII--African theater and Anzio. (

Dedicated to the memory of the man who inspired this story, Grant L. Pratt, my father, and soldier of the First Armored Division, "Old Ironsides," campaigns in North Africa and Italy during World War II. The example he set before me guides my steps and lights my path to this day.
