This new Christian romance is set in 1859 on Lake Michigan. Emma and her brother are robbed by pirates on a steamer on the lake. The story is about her subsequent marriage to the lighthouse keeper. It seemed odd that there could be pirates on the great lakes, but apparently there were some. They stole things like stacks of wood which they then resold.
It sounds like pathetic pirates, but bad guys can be enterprising and anywhere there is something to steal.
Although, the characters are based on actual people, the story is made up. The lighthouse keeper didn't really have a criminal past, but it works very well in the story.
It is a good book to read at night as long as you can bring yourself to close it.
