When Rebecca DeMarino traveled in 1999 to Horton Point Lighthouse on Long Island with her mother, Helen Horton Worley, to discover their heritage, passions collided: her love of faith, family, travel, history, and writing. A Place in His Heart (Revell, 2014), is historical romance based on the Hortons, Rebecca’s ninth great-grandparents.
