About this book
On Southport Island, a storm outside the Cape lighthouse throws the comfort of Silas Terry's home into sharp relief. The keeper, known locally as Uncle Terry, shares it with his wife Lissy and their adopted daughter Telly. His account of rescuing a baby from a wreck explains how she entered their lives, bringing a foreign note, a locket and unanswered questions about her origins.
Charles Clark Munn sets this Maine coast novel among lobster traps, island mail routes and rocky coves. Telly's painting gives the landscape another role: when Albert visits, their shared interest in pictures helps her overcome her shyness. She speaks frankly about teaching herself to paint and her attachment to the man who raised her. Readers drawn to coastal life will find daily work, affectionate household conversation and the tension between artistic hopes and family devotion.
