We keep a light

From Angus: You would enjoy reading We Keep a Light; I found this remarkable woman's (Evelyn Richardson) struggles against the elements truly fascinating. The ingenuity and aplomb with which this family faced adversity is beautifully communicated. Throughout the book she relates the isolation and weatherly exposure of (off Halifax, Nova Scotia) Outer Island (Bon Portage) to the safety and comfort of close-in Emerald (Stoddart) island. She spent summers on our island where her grandfather was the light keeper. She relates this with such writing skill it clearly imparts a sense of her humor and healthy perspective for life. I found the book inspiring.
