About this audiobook
Her family's lighthouse home is an island of enchantment for 13-year-old Eliza Wells. Surrounded by whales, seals, and pelicans, she avoids the problems that beset the mainland: like the increasingly heated conflict between the local town's white and Chinese citizens. This compelling historical novel by the award-winning author of Shadow Spinner is based on actual 19th-century events. Narrator Christina Moore voices all the confusion, compassion, and strength of a heroine willing to risk what she loves most in order to do what she knows is right.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The protagonists struggle with her faith and her father's prejudice hit a little close to home to be honest. Obviously not the 19th century lighthouse keeper part but emotionally this really hit me and the whole thing was very atmospheric and well written.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I have always enjoyed Susan Fletcher's writing. This is an excellent story of 1800's California.
