The Light That Wouldn't Die

By Diane Kann

The Light That Wouldn't Die

Beacon Bound, Book 1

When twelve-year-old _ arrives at Breakwater Point Lighthouse, she expects salty air and summer chores - not secrets.

The lighthouse has been automated for years. No one "needs" a keeper anymore. At least, that's what everyone says.

But when violent storms begin rolling in off the Atlantic - stronger and stranger than anyone predicted - the lighthouse flickers back to life. Literally.

Its emergency systems activate without warning. Old signal logs reappear. And a faint, unexplained pulse begins broadcasting from the tower - a signal no one admits to sending.

As erosion threatens the cliffs and a corporate development project pushes to close the station permanently, she uncovers something startling:

The lighthouse isn't obsolete.

It's adapting.

And if she can't figure out why it's reactivating... the coast - and the town that depends on it - could be left in the dark.

A story about resilience, legacy, and discovering that some lights are never meant to go out.
