My Thoughts

This is a really sweet historical romance. Tom is a former solider suffering from PSTD. He takes on a job at a lighthouse. On his brief visit back to the shore, he falls in love with Isabel. The two of them are thrilled to live alone on their island. Their life is perfect until they discover they can't have children, but even that problem is magically solved when a baby washes up on their island. But the real mother isn't out of the picture for good. Will they get to keep their baby? And if not, can their love survive?

I loved this movie. I was captivated by this simple  but passionate  love story. I would love to live out on an island and run a light house, splashing around in a ocean without a bunch of tourists littering. I live by the ocean and love the off season when I can walk alone on miles of sand, so I completely relate to this couple. Their bond throughout their troubles makes them even more endearing. This is certainly a unique love story, and one I highly recommend.
