Phoebe's Light (Nantucket Legacy Book #1)
My thoughts:
It's amazing to me how much I can learn about history from reading a book by Suzanne Woods Fisher and Phoebe's Light did not disappoint. With her detailed descriptions of the surrounding area and time I felt as though I was right there on Nantucket Island in the 1700's. The raging sea felt so real I honestly felt seasick just reading it. Several times I had to put it down for a few minutes and start up again. Can that really be possible?
So many great charactors kept me turning the pages but Phoebe remained my favorite. She was a strong, caring devout Quaker. I became so involved in her situations that I kept feeling the need at times to advise her!
The extras including the glossary of words used during that time period (like a different language), questions at the end, and the note from Suzanne at the end were a great addition and interesting to read.
This book is a great, great read!

I received this book from Revell Books and was not required to give a positive review.
