    About this audiobook

    The beloved bestseller that will shine in your heart forever...

    From the acclaimed author of The Last Valentine comes an unforgettable story about family, loss, and eternal love. Bestselling writer James Michael Pratt once again touches our emotions and our spirit as only a great writer can...

    Ten-year-old Peter O'Banyon's life changes forever when his family dies in an accident. Orphaned, he goes to live with his garrulous Uncle Billie, the keeper of the Port Hope Island Lighthouse in Massachusetts. There, as the beacon leads sailors home, Peter learns an astonishing truth about Billie's past— and the power of love. This message guides Peter's life, even when World War II's brutality rocks his faith, even when he returns to his young bride and an unimaginable tragedy. Now, in the final days of his own life, Peter needs to pass on the lighthouse keeper's secrets to his own daughter, but to do it may take nothing less than a miracle...

      Maudlin christain story of an Irish immigrant & descendants, Te first man's railing against his trials and tribulations somehow calmed to acceptance after looking at a picture given to the first immigrant by his local priest. The next generations similar tragedies similarly accepted after reading a letter left by the first. Two generations are lighthouse keepers. The format is the final son's reminiscing on his deathbed to his daughter-in-law. A fair amount of this man's story takes place in WWII--African theater and Anzio.
