Minding the Light Book Review

I read the first book in the series and was excited to see that there were already two more books underway.  Minding the Light (Nantucket Legacy) by Suzanne Woods Fisher was the second book in the series and doesn't let down continuing with a different family member and following the journal through how it saves the next generation and enjoying the history of Nantucket while reading it.

Six long years ago, Captain Reynolds Macy sailed away from his bride, looking forward to the day when he would return to Nantucket Island with a ship's hold full of whale oil. But when that momentous day finally arrives, Ren soon discovers that everything has changed in his absence. Everything. "Is nothing on this island as it appears to be?" he whispers in despair.

Unlike most islanders, bold and spirited Daphne Coffin doesn't defer to Ren as an authoritative whalemaster, but sees through his aloofness to the aching heart beneath. She encourages him to return to his Quaker roots and "mind the Light," finding solace in God and community. As Ren becomes the man she believes him to be--honorable, wise, faithful--she finds herself falling in love with him.

But how can she, when her heart is spoken for? Tristram Macy is Ren's business partner, cousin, and best friend--and Daphne's fiancé. Love always comes at a cost, but when is the price too high?
Suzanne Woods Fisher welcomes readers back to the Quaker community on Nantucket Island for this riveting love story, full of unexpected moments.

I wasn't sure when I read the first book in the series if I was going to be interested in this historical fiction book but I was hooked.  I am not really big on the historical books because they are often hard to get through and not quick reads.  This book is totally different because it is a great story with lots of amazing characters.  I was really looking forward to finding out what is going to happen with the boat coming back after 6 years.  Ren found out that he has two children and quickly lost his wife after arriving home.  It was a crazy journey to find out all that happens in this book but I promise you will like the trip and be totally captivated with the story.  I hope that you enjoyed this book and the rest of the series as much as I did!!
