After three years on a whaling voyage, Henry Macy returns to Nantucket to news that his grandmother has passed, bequeathing her vast fortune to him and his sister, Hitty. And it was truly vast. But Lillian Coffin was no fool. The inheritance comes with a steep cost, including when they should marry and whom--a Quaker in good standing, of course. But if they relinquish the inheritance, it all goes to Tristram Macy, their father's thieving business partner.
As Hitty and Henry seek a way to satisfy the will's conditions, they'll be faced with obstacles on every side--and it may be that Lillian Coffin will have the last word after all.
Bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher surprises and delights with this story of hope and renewal, love and redemption, arriving just when most needed.
My thoughts: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Happiness or wealth? Love or money?
Those are questions Henry and Hitty are left to ponder after their grandmother's untimely death.
Throughout the book Henry and Hitty are faced with trials, and questions, with no answers in sight, but the ultimate question is, Will they stick to their faith, and let the Light guide them through?
I fell in love with these two characters in Minding the Light, the second book in the Nantucket Legacy series.
I didn't get the chance to read the first one in the series. Long story short, by the time I had realized it was a series it was too late, I'd already gotten the book, and given my word for a review. Yeah. That's me in a nutshell.
I always feel as if I've learned a lot of new things after reading one of Suzanne's books. Her books are always so interesting, and fascinating! I'm learning things in the best kind of way!
I really enjoyed learning about Nantucket Island. I hope one day I can visit it, feel the history, and breathe it in like an autumn mist.
He'd had enough of coaxing a living from the sea. It was no wonder the sea was oft likened to a fickle woman. Men fell head over heels in love with her yet she loved none of them back.
