Loved this book! It is a story which covers decades but it begins with the day Morgan met Elizabeth, Morgan is a troubled teen who is in yet another foster home. She sneaks out at night to meet her no-good boyfriend. When she gets into trouble she is assigned community service and finds herself helping a handyman by painting a fence at a retirement home. That is where she meets Elizabeth, an old woman who is still mentally sharp but whose eyesight has dimmed so much that she can no longer read. She has recently been given some journals that had been written decades before by her father when he was a lightkeeper on Lake Superior. Elizabeth wants to find some family secrets that she is sure are hidden in those journals and Morgan seems like she might enjoy some breaks from painting to help her out.
As Morgan begins to read to Elizabeth her story is slowly revealed. Lots of twists and turns along the way! The characters are interesting - some endearing and some not so much. I found myself wanting to read faster to find out all the secrets but needing to slow down so I didn't miss something important.
