Maggie Maise, a wandering, bewildered reporter with an elusive past, takes a job at Ore Town's newspaper, The Messenger. What begins as a newspaper job quickly becomes an odyssey into the memories of a vanishing generation raised during the Great Depression and subjected to the atrocities of World War II. Maggie finds herself weaving their stories into a visionary tapestry that will ultimately reveal her own destiny-one she is reluctant to accept. Sing for the Lonesome Messenger takes readers on a journey from a 1930s Lake Superior lighthouse and shipwreck mystery to a Catholic orphanage, a single shot fired in World War II, and a twenty-first century Upper Michigan nursing home where a former newspaper editor seeks to relinquish his long-held secrets. Readers can prepare for experiencing childhood innocence tinged by desperation, lifelong loyalty, humor, mystery, murder, and supernatural events, all culminating in redemption. Maggie Maise and her fellow characters-Tracker McKie, Mike and Jimmer, Sid and Mrs. Sykes, and so many more-will live on in the reader's memory long after the final page. This extraordinary journey may even give readers a new understanding of the mysteries of love, sacrifice, and eternal light.
