BOOK BAGS: a book club

Welcome to our new Book Club organized by community members.
April book: Light Between Oceans by ML Stedman

Synopsis: taken from www.amazon.comAfter four harrowing years on the Western Front, Tom Sherbourne returns
to Australia and takes a job as the lighthouse keeper on Janus Rock,
nearly half a day’s journey from the coast. To this isolated island,
where the supply boat comes once a season, Tom brings a young, bold, and
loving wife, Isabel. Years later, after two miscarriages and one
stillbirth, the grieving Isabel hears a baby’s cries on the wind. A boat
has washed up onshore carrying a dead man and a living baby. Tom,
who keeps meticulous records and whose moral principles have withstood a
horrific war, wants to report the man and infant immediately. But
Isabel insists the baby is a “gift from God,” and against Tom’s
judgment, they claim her as their own and name her Lucy. When she is
two, Tom and Isabel return to the mainland and are reminded that there
are other people in the world. Their choice has devastated one of them.
