This is the lovely and well written book of a young girl's diary as she tends the lighthouse, which is also her home, during the Civil War. She is violently against the keeping of slaves which alienates her from her mother and grandmother , to a certain extent. During those times, girls were not to question their parents and she does so , courageously, but it seldom gets her the answers she needs from either parent. She tends the lighthouse, which is an adult's job, and ultimately gets paid for it. She has a sweetheart , who joins the War, and it is a sweet story. I enjoyed it very much.
