Book: On a Summer Tide

Author: Suzanne Woods Fisher

Genre: Christian Fiction Romance

Release Date: April 30, 2019

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.

My Thoughts:

I have long loved Suzanne Woods Fisher for her Amish fiction. It’s sweet, it’s fun, the characters are engaging, and it’s a fast read. So I knew I wanted to try some of her other fiction works as well. I am not disappointed and know you won’t be either.

This new series is titled Three Sisters Island which is the English translation of the name of the island that the father, Paul Grayson, purchases. The island holds the camp where he met his late wife and it means the fulfillment of a dream they had. But it means so much more as well. He has high hopes of healing the relationships in his family with this island.

Cam has a job she loves, a son she adores, and way more drama than she cares for with her family. Is there any way it can just start to get better? Nope. Her father buys a remote island, her son’s school calls to say that they’re basically firing him for his behaviors and she is offered a trip to London for work.

How can she make it all work? Is she a failure as a mother? Can her sister be right and there is something wrong with her son? He seems just like a normal boy to her and apparently to the island schoolteacher as well.

Speaking of that island schoolteacher. There is just something about him that draws Cam in. And how did she not know her younger sister could make coffee like this? After all, coffee is life.

Besides agreeing that coffee is life, I definitely love watching the interactions between all the family members. And I can’t help thinking that there is so much more than I still want to learn. Like for instance what happened to Cam’s best friend and mother of her son? See that’s a spoiler there in that he’s not biologically Cam’s son, but hey I had to.

You see I love books that make adoption more commonplace and a part of everyone’s life as we have adopted. It is very hard to find books with positive spins on adoption. This book gets all the thumbs up from me.

½ teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 cups drained blueberries
