It's a harsh peril, living on the ledge.

Off islands cliffs.

Purest of isolation if you can imagine this.

Posts along coasts; where men and women and their children grew up and lived. Lighthouse positions taken, the men did and swore oath and backed by law that any, under their guiding

light, their helping hand they'd certainly give.

But there's more to heroics isn't there, some acts you just can't forget or forgive. For the first time in over fifty years what can be shown is that one island wasn't at all a home. On it was a family that was rightfully frightened. One day their schemed escape was given secret inside guidance and with a man left behind his entire family alighted.

The back of him you think they have sighted but no, this man's search for their return onward goes and throws innocence and death to generations, of sorts that grows in shadows. This is a story in the wording voice of two who ought to know, they lived through. And what they'll tell you is the truth, with the hope it's of some use.
