Beacons of Fire: Three Sisters Lighthouses, Cape Cod, MA

For all the posts in the Beacons of Fire Series, go here.

Prologue: I love Nora Roberts books, well her books mostly those that she wrote prior to 2009. One of her book is the 1985 romantic novel, One Man’s Art, fourth in her longest series, The McGregor Series. The hero of the story, Grant Campbell, is a loner, rude, surly and impossible, who lives in an old lighthouse. Genevieve Grandeau literally lands on his doorstep during one particular stormy night. The story that follows between Grant and Gennie is what inspired me to look at lighthouses in a different light.

Originally part of the Nauset Light, they have been moved to this lonely location slightly inside due to continuous erosion of Nauset Hills. They no longer light their light to the ships, and hence two of the lights have been removed and only one stands without function. For some reason they scared me, and made me think of every horror movie I ever saw. 😛
