The Lighthouse of Galveston: A WWI Forbidden Love

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.
