It is a lives story. So many lives...

There is one word, in their language, that captures the reflection of their circumstances, "Sodade", a longing, a yearning, a searching for home, for opportunity, for life itself.Like Brant Point lighthouse, at the entrance of Nantucket harbor, Oh, Nantucket casts a light across its shores, providing us a view of this island through a different lens.
