This is the true story of how a 61-year-old American woman lived alone for a year at a remote North Atlantic lighthouse called Eshaness in Scotland's most northerly territory, the Shetland Islands. It provides a day-by-day account of the events & the author's feelings during her stay. Written in a positive, candid, often humorous manner, the story encompasses a diverse array of events & happenings, including raising three orphaned lambs that became Sharma's pets & main characters in the book; the arrival of thousands of birds in Spring; & an attempt to start a garden at the lighthouse for the first time. Visits of family & friends punctured the isolation, as did the Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society's international weekend event in which Eshaness participated by operating an open house. Hundreds of people from Shetland & beyond attended & GB2ELH (Great Britain 2 Eshaness Lighthouse) had a total of 555 radio contacts over the weekend in 48 countries, including 43 lighthouses in 21 countries. The book describes how winter storms shattered the rural quiet in November, while tragedy struck in Michigan: Kiri, Sharma's much-loved dog & companion for 11 years was killed & her husb&, Dean, injured. Returning to the United States for Thanksgiving & Christmas, Krauskopf doubted whether she could cope with Eshaness any longer. Nevertheless, she did return & her trip back became a four-day adventure that features in the book. ...
