When her father, a Maine lighthouse keeper, is transferred to a station on a barren island far offshore, Sarah is quick to note how much her mother misses the flowers she used to grow in her garden on the mainland. Determined to reverse her mother's melancholy, the girl hatches a plot to put soil in the cracks and crevices of the ledge and to plant seeds there. Lo and behold, they bloom, delighting not only Sarah's family but also the local fishermen. The book is based on a true story about the light at Mount Desert Rock around the turn of the nineteenth century.

I worked as a teacher and in marketing before becoming an author in 1995. My goal was to create the stories I wanted to read as a child. Down East Books published my picture books A Loon Alone, A Cub Explores, A Moose’s Morning, and Lighthouse Seeds. Scholastic Children’s Press published my easy reader, Two Feet Up, Two Feet Down. My stories, poems, and plays for older children have appeared in such magazines as Cricket, Highlights for Children, and Jack and Jill. My first novel is The Pegasus Potential. It’s available through Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Pegasus-Potenti...) and Smashwords. My latest book is Brigid and the Butter: A Legend about Saint Brigid of Ireland, which was published by Pauline Books and Media.
