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 an orphan's tale inspired by real events in Uganda and chronicles emerging love and friendship spanning five years built across western and African culture divides against a background of crime, mystery, duplicity, deception, manipulation and ultimate tragedy as lives are changed forever as Coleb strives to complete his adventure and secure his future in this heart-warming coming of age drama.
