"Minding the Light" is the second book in Suzanne Woods
Fisher's Nantucket Legacy series and it is a wonderful historical romance
novel! This book is filled with so much historical detail that it really
does provide a window into the life and society of a Quaker community set in
Nantucket and the sea way of life.
Daphne's heart is spoken for as she is engaged to a man and life
is good. However, when Ren returns to town after 6 years away they are
both in for an awakening. Ren realizes that everything has changed, and
Daphne realizes that Ren is not the man that others see him as. Ren has
gotten good has covering his true self, his hurt and pain and the man who
he actually is below his exterior that everyone else sees. Daphne finds
herself getting to know the real Ren and finds her heart falling for him.
However, she is spoken for and Ren is related to and works with her
fiancee.
Daphne is a character who I immediately liked, she is sweet,
strong and not afraid to help others. I loved the interactions that are
shared between she and Ren as this really helped to show her true character as
well as Ren's. The inner turmoil as well as the outward struggles
that these characters are facing and needing to cope with are not really unlike
that which we struggle with now making the characters and the story relatable
on several different levels. This connection keep me completely engrossed
in the book. I love the historical detail that is included; Suzanne
does a fantastic job with really bringing the time period and culture to life,
I felt as if I were there alongside the characters. I am looking forward
to book #3 in the near future!
