Novel in Progress: Light Fracture

LIGHT FRACTURE
By Deena C. Bouknight

Due to be published mid to late 2019 or early 2020




Tagline: The teacher thought she was going to the lighthouse to teach, not to learn.

SYNOPSIS: Agnus’s plummet inside the lighthouse is the stuff of local lore and ghost stories. But was the death her fault, driven by mental illness? Or, did the lighthouse keeper play a part? The teacher? This historical literary fiction illumines struggles meant to stay shrouded in a time when patience was a virtue, a lighthouse saved lives, and an earthquake was the furthest notion in the minds of Charlestonians.
