A Light on the Rocks

In 1859, fourteen-year-old Daisy is travelling on the SS Admella, when the steamship is wrecked on a submerged reef near Cape Banks. A century later, siblings Max and Rose spend their summer holidays at Cape Jaffa Lighthouse, where their father is head keeper. As they unravel the secrets of the past, an accident leaves their father and the assistant keeper injured, and Max and Rose are left to care for them. Set across two timelines, A Light on the Rocks is a haunting tale about survival, self-belief and the wild beauty of the sea. With real events woven through the narrative, the story brings the almost-forgotten history of the SS Admella and the Cape Jaffa Lighthouse to life
