Twelve-year-old Alick recounts the story of being born in a lighthouse during a storm, and raised in the same lighthouse. One day, in an attempt to rescue a ship in distress, Alick and his grandfather end up with a baby girl. Mystery surrounds little “Timpey”, who begins to work her way into their hearts. And while the lighthouse stands firmly on the rock, are Alick and his grandfather truly anchored on the Rock?
Excerpt: There were four men in the boat. They were sailors, and strangers to me. One of them, the one whose voice we had heard, got out to speak to my grandfather.
‘Something’s wrong,’ said my grandfather, before he could begin; ‘something’s wrong with that poor lad.’
‘Yes,’ said the man, ‘we’ve got him here; and he pointed to the boat. A cold shudder passed over me as he said this, and I caught sight of something lying at the men’s feet at the bottom of the boat.
‘What’s wrong with him? Has he had an accident? Is he much hurt?’
