The Light Between Oceans

Author: M.L. Stedman

Tom Sherbourne, a lighthouse keeper haunted by his wartime past, finds solace in the isolated beauty of Janus Rock. His wife Isabel’s longing for a child seems answered when a boat washes ashore with a dead man and a living baby. Their decision to keep her sets off a chain of heart-wrenching events, testing the limits of love and morality. Stedman’s prose shimmers like the ocean, drawing you into a world where right and wrong blur like the horizon at dusk. A deeply moving tale that will linger in your thoughts long after the last page.

You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day.
