A young mother is left alone to tend a lighthouse in nineteenth-century Key West, until an unexpected beacon of hope arrives, in this “compelling” novel (Daphne Kalotay, author of Russian Winter). On the rugged, remote Florida island known as Wreckers’ Cay, Emily Lowry’s husband handles the demanding job of tending the lighthouse while Emily cares for their children—and waits for the birth of her youngest. But when he vanishes, and months pass with no word, Emily has no choice but to take over his responsibilities. Then Andrew, a runaway slave, washes up on the beach. He is instantly likable, but Emily is wary. Soon, though, he’s won her family over, and becomes someone they can depend on as they work together to survive, far from the rules and judgments of society. But when Emily’s life is shattered once again, her love, strength, and determination will be sorely tested . . . “In her richly nuanced novel, Brady has created a heroine readers are unlikely to ever forget . . . Absolutely fantastic and unputdownable.” —Michelle Moran, national bestselling author of Nefertiti “Forbidden love, passion, greed, revenge, and murder . . . [Brady] knows how to stop your heart on one page and pull your heartstrings on the next.” —John Viele, author of The Wreckers

NATIONAL BESTSELLER FINALIST FOR THE OTTAWA BOOK AWARD FOR NON-FICTION Roy MacGregor's lifelong fascination with Tom Thomson first led him to write Canoe Lake, a novel inspired by a distant relative's affair with one of Canada's greatest painters. Now, MacGregor breaks new ground, re-examining the mysteries of Thomson's life, loves and violent death in the definitive non-fiction account. Why does a man who died almost a century ago and painted relatively little still have such a grip on our imagination? The eccentric spinster Winnie Trainor was a fixture of Roy MacGregor's childhood in Huntsville, Ontario. She was considered too odd to be a truly romantic figure in the eyes of the town, but the locals knew that Canada's most famous painter had once been in love with her, and that she had never gotten over his untimely death. She kept some paintings he gave her in a six-quart basket she'd leave with the neighbours on her rare trips out of town, and in the summers she'd make the trip from her family cottage, where Thomson used to stay, on foot to the graveyard up the hill, where fans of the artist occasionally left bouquets. There she would clear away the flowers. After all, as far as anyone knew, he wasn't there: she had arranged at his family's request for him to be exhumed and moved to a cemetery near Owen Sound. As Roy MacGregor's richly detailed Northern Light reveals, not much is as it seems when it comes to Tom Thomson, the most iconic of Canadian painters. Philandering deadbeat or visionary artist and gentleman, victim of accidental drowning or deliberate murder, the man's myth has grown to obscure the real view—and the answers to the mysteries are finally revealed in these pages.
