When Sheila Knight decided to leave a personal legacy by establishing a volunteer work project in Uganda, East Africa, she could never have imagined the journey that lay ahead nor the world she would be drawn into by Coleb who wasn't quite the innocent child he at first appeared to be. Written by a former child protection manager and chair of a charity working within a community in East Africa, The Lighthouse Project is a mystery and suspense thriller novel inspired by real events in rural Uganda and chronicles emerging love and friendship spanning five years built across western and African culture divides against a background of crime, manipulation, betrayal of trust and ultimate tragedy.

What Readers Are Saying An entertaining and memorable account of what can go wrong when the goals of non-profit benefactors collide with the needs and culture of the Ugandan beneficiaries. ... The characters are well-developed and memorable, the passages often humorous, with some schadenfreude moments, and the writing style is engaging."

"Many situations were deja vu with my experiences in Haiti and Ethiopia."

Well worth the read especially for those working with non-profits abroad. In fact, it should be required reading."
