Book Three in the LEGENDS OF THE SANCTUARY TREE trilogy, A LIGHT OFF THE STARBOARD BOW takes us from southeastern France at the beginning of the revolution in the mid 1700s to the far reaches of north central Washington State. Here we meet again the archaeologist Jill Reade and follow her efforts to unearth the reason a long-dead benefactor would return from his grave to direct her search. We continue our friendships with the people we met in Book One: THE LIGHTS OF HOME, a story of unlikely and unexpected life changes; and Book Two: IN THE LIGHT OF THE MOON, a story of love that lives on long after the unthinkable has been forgotten. Sisters AMANDA MORGAN and illustrator LYNNE WENICK spent their early years in the Method Valley, the mountainous region of Washington where these stories take place.
