Publisher's Synopsis
Maggie's Bluff and the lighthouse located on it, are fictitious, as are the characters protrayed in the story. The town of Fairhope, Alabama is real. The late 1940's and early 1950's provide the setting. The ghost of Maggie Abbot haunts the Bluff and nearby waters. She acts as a guardian angel to the children who play there. John Arthur III, "Tripper" and his younger sister Chelsea, "Tag," find it to be a place of beauty and adventure as they grow up. The abandoned lighthouse plays a part in the miracle at the bluff. I chose Fairhope Alabama because of its quaint beauty and seaside location. It is however located on Mobile Bay and not the Gulf of Mexico as depicted in my story. Feeling the need to document my memories of a simpler, less complicated time, I wrote this book. I have read this book in local public schools in our area and used it as a teaching tool to teach the chidren not to bully and live cleaner more wholesome lives.
