A work of historical fiction by Door County resident Ann Heyse.
Set in Door County in 1871-72, the book takes readers back to a time when nearly a thousand cargo ships sailed up and down the Lake Michigan shoreline each month. Lighthouses were vital to that trade.
In this novel, the lives of a sea captain, freed slave, unethical businessman, and young widow intertwine at Roundstone Harbor Light, a fictional lighthouse on the Door County peninsula.
