"Freeman skillfully unites the stories of two women who live a century apart but both face the challenge of overcoming difficult pasts, and both under the lighthouse’s watchful presence. . . . Freeman’s moving tale gives her two heroines the unique chance to make a fresh start in life.""The author’s description of the beautiful Australian coastline will linger with readers long after they finish the book."“Freeman weaves the two time periods together so seamlessly.""What a perfect beach read. A sunken ship, buried treasure, a home on the beach by the lighthouse, sister relationships, adventure, and romance. Lighthouse Bay packs a lot into its two-pronged story.""The novel's strength instead lies in Freeman's complex characters—capable of love and hate, shame and redemption. Both Beattie and Emma find themselves having to start over, and it is for these two women that readers cheer and sympathize.""By the last satisfying scene, you may find yourself reluctantly parting with old friends who will live on once the cover has closed. Highly recommended.""[Freeman] made her characters come to life, the scenery visible through her words, and the story was believable and made me want to read more.""The complexities of character and female relationships make this novel very rich and emotional.""A gorgeous story of family and secrets and the redemptive power of love."
