Readers Await This Dramatic Conclusion to the Beacons of
Hope Series
Tessa Taylor arrives in 1870s Upper Peninsula, Michigan,
planning to serve as a new teacher to the town. Much to her
dismay, however, she immediately learns that there was a
mistake, that the town had requested a male teacher.
Percival Updegraff, superintendent and chief mine clerk,
says she can stay through winter since they won't be able to
locate a new teacher before then, and Tessa can't help but
say she is in his debt.
Little does she know that Percival will indeed keep track of
all that she owes him.
Determined to become indispensable, Tessa throws herself
into teaching, and soon the children of the widowed
lighthouse keeper have decided she's the right match for
their grieving father. Their uncle and assistant light
keeper, Alex Bjorklund, has his own feelings for Tessa.
As the two brothers begin competing for her hand, Tessa
increasingly feels that someone is tracking her every move,
and she may not be able to escape the trap that has been
laid for her.
