Lighthouse

First Novel in the St. Simons Trilogy  

A compelling, vibrant saga of conflict, love, and a young man’s search to fulfill his dreams.  

In this enthralling first novel of the St. Simons Trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Eugenia Price shares the compelling story of James Gould, a young man with a passionate dream. Raised in post-Revolution Granville, Massachusetts, Gould could only imagine the beauty and warmth of lands to the South. It was there that he longed to build bridges and lighthouses from his very own design and plans. 

The gripping story unfolds as Gould follows his dream to the raw settlement of Bangor on the Penobscot River, to St. Simons Island off the coast of Georgia, to lawless Spanish East Florida, and back—at last and finally—to St. Simons. 

Along the way, he encounters hardship, peril, failure, and success. However, the unwavering love of Janie Harris, a uniquely beautiful and strong-willed young woman, fulfills his deep need for someone who can share the dream and the life he has chosen.

In this captivating tale, Eugenia Price paints a vivid picture of the tumultuous historic and political events that shaped the life of Mary Evans, a remarkably independent woman in the colonial South.

When Spain agreed to give all of Florida in exchange for the city of Havana, Mary (who became known as Maria) and her husband were forced to relocate to the newly British garrison town of St. Augustine, Florida. 

Maria exposes challenges that would unnerve a less resourceful woman, but she made a name for herself—developing and enhancing her position with influential citizens of St. Augustine. Eventually marrying three times, Maria proved herself to be an extraordinary woman, for any day or time.
