Blaine Grayson returns to Three Sisters Island with a grand plan–to take Camp Kicking Moose to the next level. Her dream starts to unravel when she discovers Moose Manor’s kitchen has been badly remodeled by her sister, Cam, who doesn’t know how to cook. Added to that blow is the cold shoulder given by her best friend, Artie Lotosky, now a doctor to the unbridged Maine islands.

As old wounds are opened, Blaine starts to wonder if she made a mistake by coming home. Little by little, she must let go of one dream to discover a new one, opening her heart to a purpose and a future she had never imagined.

My Review

Fisher, Suzanne Woods. At Lighthouse Point. Grand Rapids, MI: Revell, 2021.

It is fun to visit with friends. That’s what reading At Lighthouse Point felt like for me – visiting with friends. Readers have come to know the Grayson family over the course of the Three Sisters Island series. The Grayson family members feel like “real people” with their personalities and problems. In At Lighthouse Point Suzanne Woods Fisher focused on Blaine, the youngest of the three sisters. Blaine went through a rough patch in her life caused by the loss of her mother and being in the shadow of her older sisters and has emerged on the other side a stronger person. Readers will learn much from the wisdom shared by Blaine’s friend Jean-Paul. Over the course of the story, family relationships are strengthened and characters change and grow.

While it probably is not necessary to read the first two books in Three Sisters Island before reading At Lighthouse Point, I think I recommend doing so in order to get the full picture of the story. I’m hoping there are additional books coming in the series so we can learn what happens as the Grayson family expands.

While At Lighthouse Point and the other books in the Three Sisters Island series are adult novels, they are appropriate for a K-12 Christian school library. I think they will be enjoyed by older middle schoolers and up. 

I received a complimentary copy of At Lighthouse Point. This is my honest review.

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.

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