Synopsis of the Book
Dawn Conners’s parents are famous for finding historic treasures, but she has a knack for losing things—her job, her boyfriend, and now, her reputation. Thanks to a mud-slinging exposé, Dawn’s late great-grandfather is assumed guilty of stealing silver from a century-old shipwreck. Hoping to clear his name, Dawn returns to Starlight Cove, her idyllic hometown on Lake Michigan, where the doomed vessel sleeps beneath the beam of a ramshackle lighthouse.
Her plan: remodel and sell the lighthouse while untangling the perplexing family mystery. Neither task is easy, especially once her well-meaning parents and the quirky locals—including nautical researcher and Starlight Cove’s most eligible bachelor, Kip Whittaker—get involved. Despite their attraction, Dawn is reluctant to trust Kip, or any of the close-knit townsfolk. But as she pieces together the truth, Dawn’s once-shuttered heart opens up. And if she’s willing, the lighthouse might guide her to a place she never expected to find, where the past entwines with a bright new beginning.

Love to read books from Michigan Authors or set in Michigan.
Hi Mary! So glad to hear it – I have a cottage up in Interlochen and went to the Academy when I was younger, so I’m still in Michigan in my heart.
Perfect for my Michigan book club!
Hi Mary Ann! I love Skype-ing with book clubs so let me know if you ever want to do that. My contact information is on my website. All the best, Cynthia http://www.cynthiaellingsen.com
White shoals light in northern Lake Michigan…used to look out at it from my old cottage.
Adding White Shoals Lighthouse to my bucket list!
Crisp Point on Lake Superior! It is a 45 minute drive down a glorified 2 track road where your gps will not work. The remoteness combined with the view is stunning. My Wife collects lighthouse photos and small Harbor Lights replicas. Her birthday is May 16th and this would be an awesome surprise!
Another lighthouse to add to bucklist! Crisp Point here we come.
Do it Brenda and Chuck! You can even volunteer to stay and be light keepers for a period of time.
Reading this book would be the next best thing to being there! Pick me, please.
