Stephanie Owen grew up in Illinois, but spent many summers exploring Michigan's Great Lakes. Currently a high school English teacher, she has released her debut book, The Lonely Lighthouse: The Story of Little Sable Pointlight.
The book is a story of the Little Sable Point Lighthouse told from the lighthouse's point of view, which is historically the oldest brick lighthouse in the state. Stephanie also spoke with the great-great-nephew of the first lighthouse keeper in researching the project!
The book is illustrated by Metro-Detroit artist Sona Avedikian and published by Sleeping Bear Press, famously known for publishing the beloved children's book The Legend of Sleeping Bear.
Stephanie spoke to Todd about the publishing process.
The book can be purchased in local bookstores, online, and the Little Sable Point Lighthouse gift shop.
