Northern Lights: The Ghost of Beaver Island: Book One of the Watson Family of Beaver Island (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798301090684)

In this debut novel by award-winning author J. Lee Freeman, Daniel Watson, a war-weary Civil War veteran with a lifelong fascination with the Aurora Borealis, returns to his family farm in Wisconsin only to find it no longer feels like home. Seeking adventure and wealth, he sets sail on the schooner Northern Lights to soothe his troubled soul but is shipwrecked on a remote island in Lake Michigan. Alone on a cold, windswept shore he encounters Colleen O'Donnell, a beautiful war widow, and they fall deeply in love under the mesmerizing glow of the northern lights. But their newfound happiness is threatened by a darker force lurking in the shadows. Against the backdrop of the frozen lake and a lawless, isolated island steeped in Irish American heritage, Daniel and Colleen courageously fight for their lives and their love against the Shoreline Shadows and the gang's sadistic leader, Elias Blackwood, and to liberate the island for the future they envision.
