Sometimes love hurts—and sometimes it can heal in the most unexpected way.Camden Grayson loves her challenging career, but the rest of her life could use some improvement. “Moving on” is Cam’s mantra. But there’s a difference, her two sisters insist, between one who moves on . . . and one who keeps moving.
Cam’s full-throttle life skids to a stop when her father buys a remote island off the coast of Maine. Paul Grayson has a dream to breathe new life into the island—a dream that includes reuniting his estranged daughters. Certain Dad has lost his mind, the three sisters rush to the island. To Cam’s surprise, the slow pace of island life appeals to her, along with the locals—and one in particular. Seth Walker, the scruffy island schoolteacher harbors more than a few surprises.
With On a Summer Tide, bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher begins a brand-new contemporary romance series that is sure to delight her fans and draw new ones.
***************************************************************************************
This is not Suzanne's usual Amish read or historic fiction but a contemporary romance, with a little bit of suspense thrown in for good measure.
Paul Grayson is following the dream he and his late wife had to purchase the summer camp they worked at as young adults. He also purchases the island on which it is located . His three daughters think he has lost his mind by selling his home to live in the middle of nowhere. They all come rushing to "save" dad. Cam-,a focused, driven, competitive businesswoman with a 7-year old adopted son, Cooper. Maddie, a champion worrier who lets fear and anxiety rule while she attempts to become a counselor and 19-year Blaine who can't make up her mind about a college major.
They try to help their father and fix up the camp. But face all kinds of obstacles. Their mother always told them "One thing I know for sure, you either get bitter or better by what life throws at you." Or through your trials you can grow closer to God.
This book pushes the reader to question whether prayer can make a difference, and whether we trust that God will work in our lives. It reminds us of Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
An enjoyable book that you can't put down until the last page. Can't wait for book number two.
I received a complementary copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. All opinions are my own.
