Sinopsis

Lighthouse Escapes unveils the untold stories of lighthouse keepers, illuminating their vital role in maritime history and safety. These individuals faced extreme isolation and perilous conditions to maintain beacons of navigation, ensuring safe passage for countless ships. The book explores the psychological impact of solitude on these keepers, highlighting their remarkable human resilience in the face of relentless storms and the constant threat of shipwrecks.

 
The narrative progresses chronologically, starting with an introduction to the daily routines and lighthouse structures, then delving into dramatic survival accounts drawn from logbooks and oral histories, and culminating with the automation of lighthouses. By focusing on the North Atlantic region, the book provides a deep dive into specific historical events and environmental challenges.

 
Through a combination of historical facts and compelling personal accounts, Lighthouse Escapes offers a unique perspective on the intersection of human endurance and technological advancement within the context of maritime history.

*This Recording Includes Five Original Songs* 
Imagine having all of you needs reduced to the things you can't live without; food, water, and shelter. 
In Footprint of a Heart, Shayla Paradeis, whose trail name is Kiddo, ventures off the path of musical theater at age 21 and moves from Manhattan to Montana. Trading tap shoes for hiking boots, she sculpts a life outdoors as a long-distance hiker. By age 34, she hiked the Appalachian, Pacific Crest, and Continental Divide Trails, the Haute Route in the Alps, and the Te Araroa across New Zealand. As well as thousands of joyful miles running across the land of her dreams, Glacier National Park. All without a smart phone. 
Kiddo shares the trailside moments of five long journeys, including barren deserts, windy ridges above tree line, ocean tides in estuaries, narrow spaces between the painted lines of highways and guardrails, and countless peaks, passes, meadows, and valleys. Her ventures take her through swarms of bugs, knee-deep mud, every kind of precipitation imaginable, and the threat of rattlesnakes, bears, charging bulls, and one angry mama turkey. 
Journeys are often more internal than external. As she walks, she learns that counting miles can be a self-measurement as dangerous as body-image or money. The need to connect is the true north. With an openness taught through the trees, she experiences a fulfillment she never dreamed possible. Trails are no longer a thing to do, they're a place to be.
