Her grandfather had been the last keeper of the little lighthouse on the point before the light was automated. On her first morning, he pressed a brass key into her palm. 'The light keeps itself now,' he said, 'but a key is for more than doors.' That afternoon Willa climbed the spiral stairs and unlocked the small room at the top. The lamp stood dark and polished, and below her the tide was racing out, uncovering a shining road of wet sand."
