Gifts from the Sea

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Judy Pedersen. Since her mother died, life on Devil's Rock has been lonely for Quila MacFarlane, the twelve-year-old daughter of a Maine lighthouse keeper. When she rescues a baby adrift on the waves, Quila begins to rebuild a family. Inspired by a true story, this tale paints a compelling picture of the difficulties and pleasures associated with the isolated life of lighthouse keepers and their families during the 1800s.
