Their lighthouse has always been known as the Castle because it is surrounded by four granite megaliths known as the Daughters of Stone which look like buttresses or guard towers. Pet's father operates the lighthouse located near the village of Stonegate so their family lives in the adjacent cottage attached to the lighthouse. Twelve-year-old Petra (Pet) Zimmermann Smith lives with her father Frederick, her mother Angela Helene whom they call Mutti as she is from Germany and her fifteen-year-old sister Magda (Mags).
