On Whisper Island off the North Carolina coast in 1913, twelve-year-old Primmy Hopkins dreams of joining the all-male Life-Saving Service like her father and brother. When a surprise letter arrives from the mother who left nine years ago, Primmy must decide whether to cross the stormy Sound and finally learn the truth. A warm, richly detailed coming-of-age story about belonging, forgiveness, and finding your own kind of courage.
- A plucky heroine who refuses to accept 'girls can't do that' in 1913
- Fascinating real history of the U.S. Life-Saving Service, forerunner of the Coast Guard
- Authentic Outer Banks dialect—each chapter opens with a real 'old-timey' word
- A heart-tugging story of an abandoned girl deciding whether to meet the mother who left
“I plan to be a Life-Saver.”
Perfect for a middle-grade reader (especially girls) who loves plucky historical heroines, coastal adventure, and stories about family and finding where you belong.
