The Light on Farallon Island: A Novel by Jen Wheeler (English) Paperback Book

Description: The Light on Farallon Island by Jen Wheeler From debut author Jen Wheeler comes a spellbinding tale about the dangers a nineteenth-century woman encounters as she flees a tragic past to the menacing Farallon Islands. Thirty miles off the coast of San Francisco lie the Farallon Islands, known to sailors as the Devils Teeth. Despite their fearsome reputation, their remote nature appeals to young Lucy Riley, who in 1859 seeks a new start as a teacher to the lighthouse keepers children. But Lucy brings treacherous secrets with her, including a name that isnt hers and a past she cant escape. On the island, she meets Will Sisson, a mysterious man who seems to recognize her name-but not her face. Wary of Will at first, Lucy slowly starts to trust him. As Lucy embeds herself in the islands community, she discovers numerous dangers: deadly cliffs, shark-infested waters, and disorienting fogs. A dark presence of another sort, too, disguises an encroaching threat. In this forbidding place, Lucy must find the courage to confront the perils of her past and the ever-present dangers of the world around her for the new life shes sought to finally begin.

Review "Jen Wheelers The Light on Farallon Island is just spectacular. A book of isolation, both physical and self-imposed, and the fragility of connection; a story of secrets and consequences; and a love story to a wind-swept and sea battered Farallon Islands. Intricately plotted, deeply researched, beautifully written—a knockout." —Kim Taylor Blakemore, author of The Deception"In her engrossing debut novel, Wheelers depiction of an unusual and fascinating setting expertly accentuates her heroines fears and joys in this atmospheric, evocative exploration of how forcefully the past can haunt us, and the redemptive power of love." —Megan Chance, author of A Dangerous Education Long Description From debut author Jen Wheeler comes a spellbinding tale about the dangers a nineteenth-century woman encounters as she flees a tragic past to the menacing Farallon Islands.
