Novelized version of the real-life events surrounding the birth of Georgia Norwood, the first child born at the Boston Lighthouse in Boston Harbor. During a spring storm in 1932, Georgia's mother, Josephine Norwood, believed the birth was imminent, and a doctor was summond from a nearby town. It took an hour and a half for the boat to land at the island in heavy seas, and though Georgia wasn't born until a week later (in calm weather...), she would be forever known as "Storm Child.
