Minding the Light

By Suzanne Woods Fisher

Book Overview

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 fianc . 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.

Do Mind the LIGHT

Minding The Light is a fantastic historic romantic story. Wow, now that is an eye full. It is the words of Mary Coffin's journal and the life of Daphne. The depth of history is incredible and the details are immense. The details are so picturesque of the life in the 19th Century as well as the 17th Century where as you could see for yourself what was happening. The Nantucket Island series is full of Faith with GOD as their "inner Light". The description of Whaling and sailing ships are so spectacular and specific and you could clearly see them in your mind., It is a wonderful story you should find out for yourself just how good it truly is. I received a copy of this book from the Publisher and Netgalley; all of the opinions expressed in this review are all my own. if you would like to read more of my Christian book reviews go to christianlybookreviewers.blogspot.com
