Description: A couple that lives on a lighthouse off the coast of western Australia find a boat washed up onshore. In the boat, there is a dead man and a healthy baby. It just so happens that the couple have recently had a miscarriage and they feel that this baby is a gift from God, so they raise her as their own daughter, keeping it a secret that she wasn't their baby at the first.
Thoughts: This book surprised me. I was expecting a romantic love story, I think. But it turns out to be more about honesty, morality, the love of a parent for a child, and the love a couple shares through hardship. I really enjoyed the story quite a bit. It was hard to put down, but also thought-provoking. I'd recommend it. Also, the reader on the audiobook was fantastic.
Disclaimer: None, which is very rare for a modern book!
