Two lighthouse books in one – FogHorn Publishing has just released a very unique book, which is actually two books in one, of the memories and stories of lighthouse life from the first hand accounts of a family that actually lived the lighthouse life. This unique book is written with two titles – Lighthouse Keeping, by Coast Guard Keeper Ernest G. DeRaps and Light Housekeeping, by his wife Pauline DeRaps. This wonderful book, depicting the DeRaps’s family life on three Penobscot Bay Maine lighthouses and Ernest’s life at a stag station south of Vinalhaven, Maine. It is packed with amazing and heartwarming stories that are more than just a “good read”. In fact, we’ll bet that you won’t be able to stop reading once you start. First you can read Ernest DeRaps stories as he recalls the life of a lighthouse keeper. His stories are intertwined with his own original pen & ink sketches of life at the lighthouses. After reading Ernest’s side of the story and viewing the full color photos, you will then need to flip the book 180 degrees and read Pauline’s side of the story for an entirely different perspective of the same events and stories. This book is a must have for a lighthouse aficionado. (M). $19.95.
