About the Book Book Title: Minding the Light Author: Suzanne Woods Fisher Genre: Historical Romance Release date: July 3, 2018 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 fiancé. 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. Click here to purchase your copy! About the Author Carol-award winner Suzanne Woods Fisher writes untold stories about inspiring people. With over one million copies of her books sold worldwide, she is the bestselling author of fiction and non-fiction, ranging from Amish Peace: Simple Wisdom for a Complicated World to the historical novel Anna’s Crossing. My Review Minding the Light is the second book in the Nantucket Legacy series. In this story you will read about two completely different times. Part of this story is set in the 17th century and part of it is in the 19th century. You can tell the author had to have done alot of research with so much detail in this historical story. I liked parts of it being journal entries. This story is full of sadness, joy, and surprises along the way. Be sure you read the glossary first and you may have to refer back to it or you might be lost with some of the words and their meanings. Daphne was my favourite character. I really liked how she was so feisty. Overall not a bad read. Disclaimer : I was given a complimentary copy of this book but all thoughts and opinions are my own honest ones.

This sounds like a great book. I’ve never read anything by her before but I’m planning to now.
