Description
In the 1840s, a ship full of Irish emigrants founders off the coast of Maine in a terrible winter blizzard. Fishermen from a nearby island are able to save nearly everyone?except one young girl who repeatedly calls out for her brother as she’s carried to shore. Soon after reaching safety, she passes away. In the present day, a middle-aged artist lives alone in a cottage on the same island, haunted by the memory of his twin sister who died when he was a boy. Though the community is so close that the inhabitants still speak with a slight Irish brogue?the legacy of the 150 settlers who never looked farther for a place to call home?he has been unable to form a meaningful connection with another human being since childhood.Then, one quiet All Hallow’s Eve, the ghost of the shipwrecked girl will enter his house, beckoned by a candle left burning in the window. And nothing will ever be the same again
