Margaret and the children live amongst the other wives and families in the community of keepers living in Savesen Crescent, Edinburgh while their menfolk are out on the lighthouses.

Margaret takes up the story and tells what it was like for her and the children being in a lighthouse family.
Lighthouse keepers and their families live a nomadic life and soon they are traferred to the Mull of Galloway, where they find their own idyllic piece of heaven on earth giving rise to the tilte of the book ...Star of the Four Kingdoms... Scotlands most southerly point offers scenic views of four kingdoms and the powerful light shines over all.
There is a magical atmoshere about the Mull and it is not long before Margaret becomes pregnant and their Son Gavin is born, they are not the only ones blest as when new arrivals at the station experience the same phenomena and they too conceive a son within weeks of arriving.
For five wonderful years they enjoy the bliss that the Mull offers, then overnight thier dreams are shattered as a decision is made to discontinue the foghorn. Peter and the rest of the lighthouse crew apart from the Principal Keeper find their jobs redundant. Peter's days in the service are numbered but it will be five more years and two more lighthouses before Peter's service comes to an end.

Life in the Scottish Lighthouse Service.
The memories of a Lighthouse Keeper serving Scotland's rocky seas.

Peter Hill in his newly published book recounts his life from the day he joined the Scottish Lighthouse Service. He recounts his experiences with so much clarity that you feel that you are alongside him taking part, even better you will enjoy the experience.

Lighthouse keeping is a way of life that has disappeared today, nearly all the worlds lighthouses are automated, so the content of this book is historically valuable in telling the story of what it was once like to be a keeper. The author tells the story well too, and thoughtfully, he also invited his wife to add a chapter to the story telling us what it was like to be the wife of a lighthouse keeper. I found the whole book to be well written and very interesting. Recommended good read.

“I am not sure that you can hear me.  I am not sure if you are still near to me, somewhere in the dark.  I am not even sure that you are still alive.  Last night, I heard you sobbing.  The night before, I heard you scream when they came for you.  Perhaps it was your screams, later on, that were punctuated by my own.  Perhaps you cannot hear me, perhaps you will not comprehend the words that I am using.  Perhaps you are not there at all.  Still, I will continue to shout out my confession, to you and to the One God, as long as my voice persists.  Would that I could write, but there is no vellum, no ink, no light.  My arms are chained to the prison wall, spread above me.  It is futile, futile.  But, perhaps, if you can hear me, perhaps, if you can comprehend, my memory will live on for another year, another day, another hour.  My time grows shorter now.  I can hear the drums beating, the drunken peasants cheering.  Even in this dungeon there is the sickening smell of burning flesh.  They have already begun their festival day.  Soon, perhaps, I may be served up for their amusement.

Bogus isn't a strong enough word
Africa is not an indigenous word, so it's not possible that there ever was a prophet named Afra from this continent. Besides the small fact that none of the indigenous faiths of Africa mention him. How could they manage to store thousands of years of spiritual science but all collectively forget to mention a man, a prophet no less, that they all shared? lol Simple. Its not possible.

So we have a person for whom there is no historical origin. And a person for whom there is no oral history. A person that no one except this author thinks even existed. Yeah.....right.


This book is clearly a hoax. There are quite a few documented prophets from Africa. Several in fact. But I guess if you're unfamiliar you'd see this book and be duped.

The knowledge of the depth and grandure of the work of the Brotherhood and its ministrations is needed for the enlightenment and survival of this planet.

As a soul harboing an African-American body I can tell you that reading this book was refreshing. I only have two problems with it: one, the fact that it was so short and, two, the idea of Afra having to ask to be called a brother. I would hope that all beings of light and love are aware of the fact that we are ALL God's children. Out side of that, I found the book to be very inspirational. ... Read more

Hamburger Heaven = Hamburger Hell
At one point in the late 1970's Henry Winkler and Ron Howard had optioned the book and were hoping to make it movie.When I talked to them I elaborated and told them I fashioned it after Joseph Heller's masterpiece "Catch Twenty-Two" in my case it was "Ketchup Twenty-Two."I was fascinated in portrayingthe militaristic aspects that overlap working in a fast food franchise. We all wear uniforms, we have our stations and one a hungry crowd overwhelms the store, it is like being attacked. I have since updated this moralistic fable.Finally you're making money, but, it is life and it is never enough especially with an insatiable greed our cultureinstills in us.We are brought up to believe that money will insure our happiness-and we do anything to get it.Even steal, but in the end, it is who we are that will make us happy or not. ...
