The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman

Recently I read a book called "The Submission".  In both that book and this book, we are presented with a moral dilemma and while we may think we know which side we are on and what choice we would make, as we read the books, our minds can be changed multiple times.  Tom and Isabel are living on a small island off the coast of Australia in the 1920's tending the lighthouse.  They discover a small boat that has landed on the island with the body of a man and a live newborn baby girl.  The decisions they make as to how to handle this event and the consequences of those decisions make up the rest of the book.  I thought it was an excellent story, and although the writing sometimes became a bit wordy with excessive descriptions, I loved it. -June
