A Light in Bailey's Harbor

Katy Kippling has an abundance of personality, or so she was told by a recent male acquaintance. Trying to conform to the etiquette of an 1880s lady is difficult enough without adding the challenges of having an abundance of personality.



Katy loves the Cana Island Lighthouse, serving her small lakeside town in Bailey's Harbor, Wisconsin. In the summer of 1880, the new lighthouse keeper arrives. While Katy imagines his stately captain's beard and noble brow, Blake Strawberry, the new keeper, is quite the opposite. Blake is a young man searching for something to heal the pain and heartaches of his past. By moving west and accepting this new position, he plans to forget all of his painful memories and disappointments. What he hasn't counted on is that the Lord's voice can be heard just as clearly in Wisconsin as in Massachusetts.



Throughout the story, another character, Horatio Spafford, and his beloved hymn, "It Is Well With My Soul," play integral roles in the characters' lives. Separation ... a storm ... a shipwreck? What will it take to make Blake and Katy relinquish the control they have on their own lives, allowing the Lord to work in His time and in His perfect way?
