At lighthouse point - Suzanne Woods Fisher

 

This is book 3 of the Three Sister Island series, a Contemporary Christian read and the last of the series.  This book covers the story of the third and final sister Blaine Grayson along with the other sisters from the other 2 books.  When Blaine returns to Three Sister Island after being in Paris for 2 years learning her cooking skills, she comes back to not what she expected.  Her dream of returning and opening an exquisite restaurant at her father's camping area, is turned upside down.  Everything is all wrong and her sisters and father, just will not understand, along with her feelings hurt, she has not way of telling them of the hurt.   She goes along and tries to find what to do next in life, when her friend from Paris comes with her, he is very helpful in a way she is not expecting.  How will she make her dream happen?  Can she find love for the Island that she left years ago?  What about the past and the loved ones she left?  It all depends on what Blaine will decide to do.

If you like Hallmark movies then this book is for you.  It is very real and at times will make you laugh.  It leaves you cheering for each of the sisters to find happiness.  This is book 3 but can be read as a stand alone as each book is the story tells of one of the sisters.   If you read them in order you will get more of a feeling of what they have been through.  If you only read this one, you will want to go back and read the others, however, if you don't read in order you will know the ending of the other books.  I loved this series and didn't want it to end... maybe there will be a book 4... just don't end it, please.

10 Curious Facts about Lighthouses

 People love lighthouses. There’s just something special about those sturdy sentinels with their beacons of light, patiently sweeping the water, their mournful and haunting wail of a foghorn. Longfollow’s poem, The Lighthouse, written in 1850, captured the allure so well:

 And as the evening darkens, lo! how bright,

Through the deep purple of the twilight air,
Beams forth the sudden radiance of its light,
With strange, unearthly splendor in the glare!

 “Unearthly splendor.” Wow, doesn’t that hit the nail on the head? A lighthouse, to me, represents a spiritual truth: Someone’s watching out for us, looking out for the dangers ahead, and always glad to welcome us home.

  Here are 10 facts about lighthouses that you might not know:

 THE FIRST KNOWN LIGHTHOUSE was Egypt’s Pharos of Alexandria, Egypt, built in the third century B.C. The lighthouse was made from a fire on a platform to warn sailors of the port’s entrance. This lighthouse was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

 THE OLDEST EXISTING LIGHTHOUSE IN THE WORLD is considered to be La Coruna in Spain that dates from ca. 20 B.C. A Roman lighthouse is located on the Cliffs of Dover in the UK that was constructed in 40 A.D.

 THE UNITED STATES IS HOME to more lighthouses than any other country.

 THE FIRST LIGHTHOUSE IN AMERICA was at Boston on Little Brewster Island (1716). The first keeper was George Worthylake who, sadly, was drowned, along with his wife and daughter, when returning to the island in 1718.

 THE TALLEST LIGHTHOUSE is on Cape Hatteras, NC. Built in 1872, it reached 196 feet tall.

 THE FIRST WEST COAST LIGHTHOUSE was built on Alcatraz Island in 1854.

 DAYMARKS are the painted colors and patterns (diamonds, spirals and stripes) on lighthouse towers to distinguish them from each other.

 LIGHTHOUSE KEEPING was one of the first U.S. government jobs available to women, as far back as the 19th century. Most obtained their position when their husband died or became incapacitated.

 THE RANGE OF THE LIGHTHOUSE LIGHT produces a light seen 25 miles at sea.

 ABOUT 700 LIGHTHOUSES are still in active use in the United States.

 As I wrote the third book in the ‘Three Sisters island’ series, I just had to give that little charred lighthouse its day in the sun. It had patiently played a role in the first two books, waiting for its turn on center stage. Not only did its setting provide a very unexpected “WHAT? How did that happen?” conclusion to the series, it even stole the headline! The undisputed title: At Lighthouse Point.

 Do you have a favorite lighthouse? If so, please add your picture in the comments below. Don’t forget to include its location.

 Thanks for reading! Stay well, stay home, and read.
