Description

Eugenia Watts thought this day would never come. After over 20 years with the same company, she has been laid off. This could not have happened at a worst time in her life. She was still dealing with the death of her beloved father that occurred six months prior to the lay off. How does she pick up the pieces of her life? Where does she go from here? Eugenia escapes and takes a much-needed vacation to a small town in Maine where her dad bought a summer cottage, leaving the heat and humidity of July in D.C. and putting some distance between the past and the future. Upon her arrival, she begins to wonder why her dad bought a cottage in this town. She finds clues that peak her curiosity about Camden, Maine. What secrets does this small town hold? What connection does she have to Camden, Maine, a small town on the Atlantic coast which has a less than one percent African-American population? Scott Mackey is known in Camden for his sultry and melodic piano playing at a local restaurant that he co-owns. He plays tunes ranging from Erroll Garner to Billy Joel to Lionel Ritchie and Michael Bublé. Known as "D.C." to Eugenia's late father, he is handsome, tall, single and white. At age 45, his love life has consisted of disappointing relationships with a string of women who were more than a decade younger than he and he seeks someone who remembers what romance is really like. Scott is a true gentleman in every sense of the word and the women he has dated do not appreciate this fact. Claudette Lewis Bard combines her love for genealogy and romance to tell a tale of one woman's search for a part of her that was lost many years ago and of two people from different cultures who share a common bond. Negro Island Light captures the beauty a town whose motto is, "Where the mountains meet the sea."
