The answer to John Stockton’s dream to sail the world arrives early, in the form of a job as a fireman on a tugboat in Cleveland. 

 

Prosperity seems to come easy for John and, before long, he has become quite a success story in the region. Captain Stockton has everything he could ever want.

 

Or so he thought.

 

John finds himself sidetracked while visiting his brother in Ireland and in a matter of weeks, his world is turned upside down. Stockton returns to Cleveland, but he is haunted by hasty decisions and thoughts of what could have been.

 

Then one afternoon, on a leisurely ferry cruise along Edgewater Park, he spots a beautiful lakefront parcel of land; something that gives him hope that it might not be too late to find true happiness.

 

How long will it take for the captain to realize that the property and the home he envisions is far more than a simple house with a yard?

 

This third book in the Edgewater story is the foundation on which the entire series is built upon.

 

Come back to turn-of-the-twentieth-century Cleveland  ... to an era where knob and tube wiring is state of the art, and find out how it all began.

​

... with just one house.
