From the author: “This book was written for my grandchildren. I am the daughter of a lighthouse keeper and there are not many left who lived when the Lighthouse Service was active. This book tells of my life as a child. It is a story of the beauty and dangers of Lake Superior. At a time when lighthouses and foghorns were very important. when the faithfulness of Lighthouse Keepers saved lives and prevented tragedies. It is a story of freedom and adventure, sand dunes in summer and winter, lady slippers and arbutus, skipping rocks and finding agates, of hiking to places yet untouched by civilization. Memories of life lived as a Lighthouse Keeper’s daughter.” While primarily aimed at younger readers, this book provides valuable insight into life at Whitefish Point light station. (VG+) $12.
