Great Lakes Lighthouse Brides Collection
Lighthouses have long been the symbol of salvation, warning sailors away from dangerous rocks and shallow waters.
Along the Great Lakes, America's inland seas, lighthouses played a vital role in the growth of the nation. They shepherded settlers traveling by water to places that had no roads. These beacons of light required constant tending even in remote and often dangerous places. Brave men and women battled the elements and loneliness to keep the lights shining. Their sacrifice kept goods and immigrants moving. Seven romances set between 1883 and 1911 bring hope to these lonely keepers and love to weary hearts.

captivating lighthouse romances
Published by Anne Rightler , 5 years ago
The Great Lakes Lighthouse Brides Collection is a wonderful set of seven stories of women finding love on the shores of the Great Lakes. Each story is unique with the heroines and heroes who have different challenges to overcome, such as a young shipwrecked woman with amnesia, a young woman doctor who no one wants to see professionally, a widower whose young daughter is praying for a new mother and an owner of a shipping company with a missing ship. The authors were mostly new to me and yet there were a couple of my favorites too--Carrie Fancett Pagels and Pegg Thomas. Each of the authors has her own delightful way of storytelling, some with a little humor, some with suspense and heartbreaking drama, but all weave faith in God and his grace and mercy throughout their stories of love and romance in a variety of situations. Through a time span during the 1880s through 1911 the stories take readers to the various lighthouses that are scattered throughout the Great Lakes region. Interesting tidbits of history and vivid scenes (even some swoon-worthy kisses) along with strong, evocative characters make these stories come alive and readers recognize that even in the despair and struggles of lighthouse life there is hope and goodness. Don't miss this fascinating collection of stories.
I read a complimentary copy of this book and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own.
