In this hauntingly beautiful novel, a nameless Lightkeeper, ageless and outside of time, is pulled through time to tend lighthouses on far shores, battling danger, loneliness, uncertainty, and despair. What begins as the burial of a lighthouse keeper on a routine assignment soon transforms into the greatest adventure of her life and a path to a more distant shore. Through this journey she learns what it means to be human and to love, especially when death is a certainty.

Recensioner i media

"Blending soft sci-fi elements such as time travel with a literate style that is engaging and allusive, The Lightkeeper manages to both enchant and challenge the reader. I couldn't put it down. Tolkien talked about good stories aspiring to convey the difficult emotion of 'joy, poignant as grief.' This story is filled to the brim with it."

-Nicholas Kotar, author of the Raven Son series


The Lightkeeper stirs the spirit of the reader with a poignant blend of intrigue and simplicity. Sherry Shenoda's prose is also a kind of poetry, which awakens the inner life of the reader through her fidelity to honesty, detail and the bright sadness of being. Especially, in our noise-ridden times-the reflective, timeless journey of The Keeper is a healing balm and inspiration. 

-Jonathan Jackson, Author of The Mystery of Art and The Harrowing of Hell; Star of ABC's Nashville; Singer/Songwriter of Jonathan Jackson + Enation  


Sherry Shenoda's haunting, poetic prose gently draws the reader into a captivating tale, filled with ethereal beauty. Her characters and images linger, echoing in the imagination long after the story is finished.

-Elissa Bjeletich, author of Tending the Garden of Our Hearts, and Blueprints for the Little Church
