Travel back to the summer of 1895 to Mackinac Island. Envision and immerse yourself in the life and culture of the townspeople who live year-round on this tiny peace of heaven. At least, I can imagine heaven would look like this a bit. You will fall in love with the townspeople as much as I did. And as a side note: I really need to travel to Mackinac and see it for myself! Carrie's stories vividly describe the area so well!
If this is your first story by Carrie Fancett Pagels, I will tell you, you will not be disappointed! I also encourage you to read her earlier books! Carrie is a talented writer!
Maude Welling is a lovely young woman with a broken heart, or maybe not. Maude is courageous, strong, determined, and faithful to the core. She takes care of her father and younger brother. She also helps run their inn. Her younger brother, Jack, is quite the character and runner! I was quite taken with his eccentric and energetic behavior! Oh, to have his energy!
Journalist Ben Steffan comes to the island on an undercover assignment as a wealthy businessman with a new name! But things tend to take a different turn once he meets the lovely Maude!
Ben and Maude discover a few mysteries and scandal around Mackinac Island. But they also discover something much more valuable between them. What starts out as tender friendship grows and beautifies into a lasting love.
