About the Book
Book: On a Summer Tide
Author: Suzanne Woods Fisher
Genre: Christian Fiction Romance
Release Date: April 30, 2019
Sometimes love hurts—and sometimes it can heal in the most unexpected way.
Camden Grayson loves her challenging career, but the rest of her life could use some improvement. “Moving on” is Cam’s mantra. But there’s a difference, her two sisters insist, between one who moves on . . . and one who keeps moving.
Cam’s full-throttle life skids to a stop when her father buys a remote island off the coast of Maine. Paul Grayson has a dream to breathe new life into the island—a dream that includes reuniting his estranged daughters. Certain Dad has lost his mind, the three sisters rush to the island. To Cam’s surprise, the slow pace of island life appeals to her, along with the locals—and one in particular. Seth Walker, the scruffy island schoolteacher harbors more than a few surprises.
With On a Summer Tide, bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher begins a brand-new contemporary romance series that is sure to delight her fans and draw new ones.
My Thoughts:
I am so ready for summer time and author Fisher’s latest
book certainly put me in the mood for quite walks along the beach. This was a sweet read about a father, three
sisters, one grandson, and an island that is in desperate need of
revitalization.
Due to an unusual case of laryngitis, Paul Grayson has been
unable to return to his career as a sportscaster. So unbeknownst to his three
grown daughters, he sells their childhood home and buys an island, the same one
where he met their late mother years ago. This was a quite a shock to all three
of them and Paul secretly hopes that this project will bring them all back
together to the close knit family his wife always dreamed of.
We get quite a bit of story from all three sisters
viewpoints as well as their father’s and I really think that helped round out
the story. All three sisters couldn’t have been more different, and they each
have their own preconceived ideas of each other and the way life should be
lived. All have some sort of issues that they are trying to fix, ignore, or run
away from and all three are as stubborn as can be.
As the story progressed, however, the island and its people
begin take hold of each of them in different and surprising ways. From a
restaurant lady who can’t cook to the island’s very attractive school teacher,
to the home itself. I really enjoyed watching as each daughter used her God
given gifts and talents to work on bettering the camp and their relationships.
I look forward to more of their stories as the series continues.
I received a copy of this novel from the publisher. I was
not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

2 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups drained blueberries
Crumb Topping:
