Walk with Lainey into the world of Door County and its islands in the late 1800s.
A time of shipwrecks, lighthouses, and strong people that never give up.
Lighthouse keepers risk their lives every day to save others and protect those on ships on the Great Lakes. But for Lainey, life on tiny Pilot Island is a hard place for summer vacation—Aunt Edith is always making her do chores and fussing at her. And Uncle Otis needs a lot of help to man the lighthouse.
When disaster hits, Lainey must find the courage and strength of those who make their lives on these treacherous islands. With humor, faith, close friendships, and a young man who interferes with her ability to think, Lainey becomes a shining light of spunk and grace.
Lainey of the Door Islands will touch your heart and show you that even in what feels like the worst circumstances, God has a plan to prosper and not to harm.
