Book Summary
Six long years ago, Captain Reynolds Macy sailed away from his bride, looking forward to the day when he would return to Nantucket Island with a ship's hold full of whale oil. But when that momentous day finally arrives, Ren soon discovers that everything has changed in his absence. Everything. "Is nothing on this island as it appears to be?" he whispers in despair. Unlike most islanders, bold and spirited Daphne Coffin doesn't defer to Ren as an authoritative whalemaster, but sees through his aloofness to the aching heart beneath. She encourages him to return to his Quaker roots and "mind the Light," finding solace in God and community. As Ren becomes the man she believes him to be--honorable, wise, faithful--she finds herself falling in love with him. But how can she, when her heart is spoken for? Tristram Macy is Ren's business partner, cousin, and best friend--and Daphne's fiancE. Love always comes at a cost, but when is the price too high? Suzanne Woods Fisher welcomes readers back to the Quaker community on Nantucket Island for this riveting love story, full of unexpected moments.
My Review
I was excited to continue the voyage with Suzanne Woods Fisher in the second book of the Nantucket Legacy series, Minding the Light. Featuring a dual timeline we continue to read about Mary Coffin Starbuck's life in the 17th century ,that was written in a journal that was found, while also reading about the 19th century in the main story. Read about the beginnings of the Quakers in America on Nantucket Island. You will get your fill in this story with love lost and found,hope,betrayal and shocking revelations that come to the light of day. I loved reading the true facts in the back of the book that this story is based on. Very compelling read you will want to come back to more than once. Pub Date 03 Jul 2018 I received a complimentary copy of this book for Revell through NetGalley. Thank you.
