The Keeper's Son
The Keeper's Son, from author Homer Hickam, is a lively tale of love and redemption set on Killakeet Island of the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Dominating the glorious beauty of the little island is the majestic Killakeet Lighthouse, kept for generations by the Thurlow family. Seventeen years after the loss of the keeper's youngest son at sea, Coast Guard Captain Josh Thurlow still searches for his baby brother even after German U-boats arrive to soak the beaches with blood. Dosie Crossan, a lusty young woman in love with love, must decide between Josh and her own self-respect while fighting her own war against the invaders. The strands of the story - inexplicable loss, the sometimes strange pathways of love, a plan of hideous murder, the unyielding nature of Providence - are wound ever tighter until the stunning and astonishing final chapter.
