I am just an ordinary young woman who did her duty. ”\n1838: Northumberland\, England. Longstone Lighthouse on the Farne Isl ands has been Grace Darling’s home for all of her twenty-two years. When she and her father rescue shipwreck survivors in a furious storm\, Grace becomes celebrated throughout England\, the subject of poems\, ballads\, a nd plays. But far more precious than her unsought fame is the friendship t hat develops between Grace and a visiting artist. Just as George Emmerson captures Grace with his brushes\, she in turn captures his heart.\n1938: N ewport\, Rhode Island. Nineteen-years-old and pregnant\, Matilda Emmerson has been sent away from Ireland in disgrace. She is to stay with Harriet\, a reclusive relative and assistant lighthouse keeper\, until her baby is born. A discarded\, half-finished portrait opens a window into Matilda’s family history. As a deadly hurricane approaches\, two women\, living a c entury apart\, will be linked forever by their instinctive acts of courage and love.\n \;\n \;\n\n\n\n END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Chicago X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Chicago BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0600 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:CDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
