OVERVIEW

Captain Reynolds Macy has been at sea for six years He left barely a month after his marriage to Jane, the girl of his dreams. Returning now, he meets for the fist time Henry and Hitty, his twins. How did he not know about these children, where had those letters gone that his wife had written? He remembers her mentioning these two but did not realize they were his son and daughter. And as he greets his long-missed wife, she collapses! Is it merely excitement or something more sinister?

Everything had changed for Ren and much more was to come. Most islanders defer to his power and authority but not his spirited sister-in-law, Daphne. As they come to rely on each other and Daphne encourages him to return to his Quaker faith and his God, is there more to their relationship than they admit even to themselves?

There is a sweet romance here but so much more than that. Readers are reminded to “mind the light”, focus on God and His will for your life.
