"How could I have expected so much? How could I have given her so little in return?"
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.
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?
Praise for Phoebe's Light
"Fisher's superb command of her historical setting is particularly commendable as she
launches her Nantucket Legacy series, and many readers will find themselves fascinated by how the Quakers were treated when they first arrived in the New World."--Booklist
"Based on actual historical events and people, Suzanne Woods Fisher has taken her research to the next level and brings to life the forgotten beginning of Quakers on Nantucket Island."--RT Book Reviews
