Amidst a backdrop of swirling mists and stormy seas, a young girl stands defiant on a remote lighthouse island off the rugged coast of British Columbia. Her eyes blaze with determination, her heart burns for justice.
It's April, 1860. Meet Charlee LeBeau, an orphaned Métis girl, stranded on Deception Island after surviving the shipwreck of a California merchant schooner, Salish Wind. With her loyal companion, a Salish Wool Dog, and the support of a steadfast woman lightkeeper, she recovers from her harrowing ordeal. But her path forward is fraught with challenges as her memory betrays her.
From the settled streets of San Francisco, to the wild harbor town of Victoria, to the treacherous coves of Deception Island, Charlee's pursuit of justice threatens to consume her. As she turns sixteen, she longs to return to the life she once knew, and a place where she belongs.
Charlee LeBeau is a feminist Swiss Family Robinson for the Pacific Northwest. Following the traditional arc of a hero forced into adventure by nefarious forces, the plot is a time-tested swashbuckling narrative made new by the main character Charlee LeBeau. Battling memory loss, sea voyages and unscrupulous privateers, she is determined to uncover the truth about the shipwreck, even as she struggles with her own family history and need to belong.
