Newbery Medal winner Karen Hesse's Civil War diary A LIGHT IN THE STORM is now back in print with a beautiful new cover! In 1861, Amelia Martin's father is stripped of his post as a ship's captain when he is caught harboring the leader of a slave rebellion. Now he is an assistant lighthouse keeper on Fenwick Island, off the coast of Delaware -- a state wedged between the North and the South, just as Amelia is wedged between her warring parents. Amelia's mother blames her abolitionist husband for their living conditions, which she claims are taking a toll on her health. Amelia observes her mother's hate and her father's admiration for Abraham Lincoln. But slavery is the deeper issue separating the two sides. As the Civil War rages on, Amelia slowly learns that she cannot stop the fighting, but by keeping watch in the lighthouse each day, lighting the lamps, cleaning the glass, and rescuing victims of Atlantic storms, she can still make a difference. In 1860 and 1861, while working in her father's lighthouse on an island off the coast of Delaware, fifteen-year-old Amelia records in her diary how the Civil War is beginning to devastate her divided state. 1861年，阿米莉亞的父親原本是一...Newbery Medal winner Karen Hesse's Civil War diary A LIGHT IN THE STORM is now back in print with a beautiful new cover!

In 1860 and 1861, while working in her father's lighthouse on an island off the coast of Delaware, fifteen-year-old Amelia records in her diary how the Civil War is beginning to devastate her divided state. 1861年，阿米莉亞的父親原本是一名船長(zhǎng)，他因?yàn)椴啬湟晃慌`起義領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，而被撤職。隨后他來到芬威克島成為燈塔守護(hù)人的助手。阿米莉亞的母親責(zé)備丈夫使他們陷入這樣的生存環(huán)境，嚴(yán)重影響到她的健康。阿米莉亞一直處于父親跟母親的爭(zhēng)斗中，看著母親對(duì)父親的恨及父親對(duì)美國(guó)總統(tǒng)林肯的欽佩。 奴隸制加劇了雙方的分化。南北戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)持續(xù)升溫，阿米莉亞發(fā)覺她實(shí)在沒有辦法阻止雙方的爭(zhēng)斗，她只能好好看護(hù)著燈塔，援助大西洋風(fēng)暴的受害者，做一些她力所能及的事。 紐伯瑞得獎(jiǎng)作者以一個(gè)小女孩日記的形式，記述著美國(guó)南北戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)時(shí)期對(duì)人們生活的影響的故事。(展開)
