Phoebe"s Light by Suzanne Woods Fisher Book Tour and Book Review









About

"Not today. I will not worry today."
Phoebe Starbuck has always taken care of her father--worrying enough for both of them, as he chases one whim after another. Now, for the first time, she's doing what she wants to do: marrying Captain Phineas Foulger and sailing far away from Nantucket. As she leaves on her grand adventure, she takes two gifts from her father, but desires only one: her great-grandmother's journal. The second gift? A "minder" in the form of cooper Matthew Macy, a man she loathes.

Phoebe soon discovers that life at sea is no easier than life on land. Lonely, seasick, and disillusioned, she turns the pages of Great Mary's journal and finds a secret that carries repercussions for everyone aboard the ship, especially the captain and the cooper.

Sail away with expert navigator Suzanne Woods Fisher, who confidently explores the sometimes treacherous shores of Quaker life on the storied Nantucket Island.

My review.

I love all of the books that I have read by author Suzanne Woods Fisher. Phoebe's Light is no exception. This is the story about a young woman who wants to make her own choices in her life. She has decided to marry who she wants and move away and be with him in Nantucket. . But, sometimes it is not always a good decision. She is ill and all alone on her trip. Women have always been strong and resilient and this story is a reminder of that. This is a wonderful historical romance. I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book by Revell Publishing and these are my opinions.
