The small Scottish island where Fiona Cargill has spent the last three years as a schoolteacher seems a world away from the war, but when a wounded soldier rents her friend's cottage to recuperate, Fiona finds herself drawn to the reserved young man. Then a naval base on the neighboring island is attacked and Fiona's neighbors begin to mutter about a light they saw that night on the shore just off the cottage -- a light that may have been guiding the German bombers in. Will Fiona's feelings for Hugh survive her growing doubts? What is her duty to her country -- and to love?
