What if the world tearing itself apart was what brought two star-crossed lovers together? As World War I rages, a war also rages inside the hearts of Will and Anasasia (Anna) Johnson. When he's called to serve, and she nearly dies from the Spanish Flu, their bond deepens into a forbidden love that defies morality, family, and faith itself. As their love is slowly discovered, the town turns against them, and they retreat into each other. Will clings to Anna as his neurodiverse Lighthouse, and his yellow rose, the woman he would cross Texas for. Anna latches on to him as her neurotypical anchor, the one who interprets the world and makes it safe for her. As their love deepens, they must decide whether or not to stand firm as they face down the loss of the friends, futures, and possibly their lives. Haunted by memories from past lives lost, and apparitions that even others can see, Will and Anna begin to suspect that this might not be their first time falling in love. The Lighthouse of Galveston is a haunting story of forbidden love, war, soulmates, sacrifice, civil rights, and the gray areas of the human heart. It's perfect for readers who enjoy: Star-crossed lovers Slow-burn romantic tension War-shadowed coming-of-age stories Historical fiction with psychological realism Literary romance with moral complexity Haunting love stories with metaphysical undertones Written with sharp psychological realism, it asks: Do we choose who we love? What kinds of love are acceptable? How far should we go to protect the people we love most? And most importantly Is it ok not to have all the answers? For readers of Cold Mountain, The Time Traveler's Wife, and Atonement, The Lighthouse of Galveston explores how even the purest love can challenge everything we believe about right and wrong.
