Agnes' plummet inside the Morris Island lighthouse became the stuff of local lore and ghost stories. But was her actual death driven my mental illness? Or did the lighthouse keeper play a part?

The well-researched historical literary fiction illumines struggles meant to stay shrouded in a time when patience was a virtue, a lighthouse saved lives, and an earthquake was the furthest notion in the minds of those living in the lowcountry.
