On a Coastal Breeze

The Lord will complete what his purpose is for me. Lord, your gracious love is eternal; do not abandon your personal work in me. — Psalm 138:8 Once again the author has drawn such a beautiful picture of Three Sisters Island and Camp Kicking Moose that I am almost envious of those who get to live there! This book centers on Maddie, the middle sister, however, the rest of the family is certainly not left out of the narrative. Cam is totally into her efforts to make the island self-sustainable as far as energy is concerned, sometimes to the detriment of her relationship with Seth and Cooper. Blaine, returning from her first year of culinary school, does not want to continue - once again struggling with finishing what she has started. Paul, their father, seemingly has his own struggles. In all, this book had me doing a great deal of reflective thinking. How easy it is to quit before you get started, or be so involved that you forget those that are important to you! Maddie’s new career as a therapist perhaps precipitates this deep thinking through her dealings with her clients. Each of these wonderful characters seems to be dealing with fear of some kind. Will they manage to face those fears and move on? This second book in the Three Sisters Island series can stand alone, but the depth of these characters will leave you wanting to get to know them better. In fact, I am already anxiously awaiting the next book! This digital copy was received through Baker Publishing Group, Revell books, NetGalley and CelebrateLit.

ON A COASTAL BREEZE....Suzanne Wood Fisher Madison has her license even a scheduled appointment, a couple before getting married for a session. She feels at home here on Three Sister Island even though there aren’t the eligible men. Excitement outside drew her out to see what it was about. Literally a parachute coming down to a perfect landing. To find he was the new pastor. His name sends a shock to her it can’t be but it is a man from her past. From grade school he had been her nemesis. The sisters, different characters as well as the setting, brings us once again to the Island and what is happening, and how lives can be changed. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion from Net Galley and Revell.
