AT LIGHTHOUSE POINT
Blaine Grayson returns to Three Sisters Island with a grand plan -- to take Camp Kicking Moose to the next level. Her dream starts to unravel when she discovers Moose Manor's kitchen has been badly remodled by her sister, Cam, who doesn't know how to cook. Added to that blow is the cold shoulder given by her best friend, Artie Lotosky, now a doctor to the unbridged Maine islands.
As old wounds are opened, Blaine starts to wonder if she made a mistake by coming home. Little by little, she must let go of one dream to discover a new one, opening her heart to a purpose and a future she had never imagined.
Bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher invites you back to the coast of Maine for a story that reminds you to release what doesn't matter and cling to what does: faith, family, and friendships.
My Review:
I am enamoured with this series! This family!! These sisters!!! Not to mention all the familiar islander faces and a few new ones besides. Blaine's French sidekick especially tickled my fancy with his gentle, insightful support to the entire family. And I chuckled over the comedic moments provided at his expense. :-)
I had a real sense of coming home the second I opened this book. Not only because this is my third visit to the island but because Fisher does a wonderful job of showcasing the cast and setting in a nostalgic, you-can't-go-home-again kind of way. (At least, not in the way you anticipate you can.)
And by the by, while you could read At Lighthouse Point as a standalone, I think you will get so much more out of the story by reading books one and two first. There are some ongoing secondary character plot threads that carry over from book to book plus the change and growth in the Grayson family is a sight to behold.
But those sisters! Maddie and Cam may have had their individual 'aha' moment in previous novels, but, of course, just like real life, it doesn't always stick. Cam is still micromanaging everybody -- including the entire island and Maddie is still psychoanalyzing people and they both think they know exactly what Blaine should do and how she should do it!
And Blaine's in the middle of it all, older and wiser with a better understanding of who she is and what she wants to do with her life...even if it goes against her family's expectations.
Brimming with the chaos and camaraderie that comes with small town living, At Lighthouse Point is the perfect fictional summer getaway. I'm sad to see the series end...even sadder that I can't actually grab a ride on the never-late ferry and spend some quality time at Camp Kicking Moose.
Spectacularly funny and poignant and full of surprises!

She can write any type of story -- such a talent. Good luck, Kay!
DeleteThe first two books in this series were so good I simply must read At Lighthouse Point to find out the conclusion. There are quite a few series that feature three sisters which I connect with since I am one of three sisters. Thanks for the giveaway.
