The Bravest Woman in America by Marissa Moss and illustrated by Andrea U’Ren
When her father became the official keeper of Lime Rock Lighthouse in Newport, Rhode Island, Ida Lewis was thrilled. She shadowed him as he tended the lighthouse, listening raptly to his stories about treacherous storms, drowning sailors, and daring rescues.
