Set on the shores of San Francisco Bay in 1866, this adventure tale tells the story of twelve year old Emma Green who finds her world turned upside down when her father takes his first assignment as a lighthouse keeper at Point Bonita, a remote rock on the California coast. Despite Emma's isolation, she manages to make friends with the son of a powerful rancher and with the granddaughter of an American Indian. When a mysterious shipwreck survivor - a feverish boy who claims improbably to be a pirate - washes into their cove, secrets that have been hidden across generations are threatened. In order to survive the rifts, the four youths must forge a fellowship in spite of newly opened mistrusts. 18th century,children's books,historical fiction,literature and fiction Historical Fiction, CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform<
